"It's a great one for the fans that have stuck with us this season and everyone will be looking forward to it.
And, whilst keeping his attentions firmly on the three league matches between now and then, he told the official website: "Of course, everyone is very happy.
The U's will discover next week their next opponents, with Leicester and Tottenham going head to head whilst the U's take on Fleetwood in League One.
