Johnnie Jackson’s side booked their place in the second round after a 2-1 win at Plough Lane over Championship side Coventry.
“It’s a great draw and reward for what the boys did tonight [vs Coventry], said the Dons boss Jackson.
“We’ll get to go to a Premier League club and not just any Premier League club – a top side.
“It is great for everyone involved with the Club – and I’m delighted. “The boys deserve this because of their efforts tonight. They’ve earned the opportunity, so we’ll go to the Bridge and give it a go.”
Omar Bugiel and Ryan McLean scored the goals against the Sky Blues.
Wimbledon host Forest Green this weekend in League Two as they look to extend their unbeaten start to the campaign.
