Wanderers will face a determined Wimbledon when they put their Wembley hopes on the line at the Reebok Stadium on November 10.
The Worthington Cup fourth round draw has paired the clubs for the third time in three seasons in the League's cup competition and Joe Kinnear wasn't offering any crumbs of comfort today when he spelled out his ambitions.
While his fellow Premiership managers have displayed their apathy for the competition by fielding weakened teams, the straight-talking Dons boss said: "I rate the Worthington Cup as our best chance of cup success, reaching Wembley and making a bid for Europe."
The tie offers Reebok record signing Dean Holdsworth a chance of a cup duel with his former club - an opportunity he missed last season, shortly after his £3.5 million transfer, when he was ineligble for the third round tie, which Wanderers won 2-0.
