It will be the first time the two sides have ever met in cup action, with the tie set to take place on the weekend of November 8.

The Dons currently sit 21st in League One but have won their last three matches, including a 1-0 triumph over Portsmouth last weekend.

Rovers have won just one of their six away games against Wimbledon.

The FA Cup was a happy hunting ground for Rovers last season as they reached the fifth round for the first time in 63 years.

Isthmian League side Chichester City received a bye to the second round after being pulled out of the draw last. Bury’s expulsion from league football left the draw one team short with the decision taken to award one team a bye.
