Wanderers will learn their opponent in the Papa Johns Trophy semi-final this weekend. Here are all the details you need.

Ian Evatt’s men overcame Portsmouth at the University of Bolton Stadium last night, with Jon Dadi Bodvarsson getting the decisive goal.

The Whites have now gone two steps further than last season, when they were knocked out in the last 16 following a late 1-0 defeat at Hartlepool.

Wanderers won the competition in 1989 following a memorable 4-1 win against Torquay at Wembley. Under-18s manager Julian Darby was on target against the Gulls that day.

When will the draw take place?

The draw takes place live on Sky Sports on Saturday, January 14 following the Championship fixture between Rotherham and Blackburn, which kicks off at 12:30pm.

It will be conducted by former Reading captain Jobi McAnuff and ex-Plymouth and Oxford forward Jamie Mackie.

Who could Wanderers face?

Accrington are through to the last four after beating Lincoln on penalties last night following a 2-2 draw at Sincil Bank.

Meanwhile, League One leaders Plymouth booked their place in the semi-final following a 2-0 victory at Bristol Rovers.

Cheltenham complete the last four after recording a 3-1 win against Salford at Whaddon Road last night.

When will the semi-finals be played?

The semi-final ties are currently scheduled to be played on the week commencing Monday, February 20, with both fixtures set to be broadcast live on Sky Sports.

Last year’s competition was won by Rotherham, who came from behind twice to record a 4-2 victory against Sutton United after extra time.
