The last time the two sides met at St. Andrews was just two years ago in January 2002 with the Dons taking all three points in a Nationwide First Division match with a 2-0 victory ... view match report

Prediction ...
Blues have a terrible record against Wimbledon but on current form, with Steve Bruce's side halfway up the Premier League and the Dons firmly rooted to the foot of the 1st Division Table, I can't see anything but a Blues win and a passage into the fifth round for the first time under Bruce's leadership .. Home Win
