Time to take a look at the much anticipated EFL Trophy Semi Final Draw in full live as each tie are drawn out of the hat.
Caroline Barker will be hosting with Adebayo Akinfenwa, who scored the winning goal for Swansea City in the 2006 Final, selecting the ties after Lincoln’s League One clash against Gillingham.
Semi Final matches will be played on Tuesday the 16th of February 2021 and Wednesday the 17th February with both fixtures kicking-off at 6pm and live on Sky Sports.
Portsmouth manager Kenny Jackett says: “For players, management, staff and supporters, going to Wembley Stadium is always a special occasion and we’re pleased to now have a date for the 2020 final.
“It obviously won’t be the same without the fantastic Pompey supporters there to cheer us on, but we’ll do everything we can to win the game for them.”
