On Thursday 22 August, alongside the EFL fixtures being announced, our Under-21s will be drawn into the EFL Trophy group stage.

There, we will face a mix of EFL teams from both League One and League Two, plus other youth sides from invited clubs.

The draw will take place at 11:30 BST on that date, live on Sky Sports (for UK viewers).

Last season, the young Reds progressed past the group stage by beating the likes of Barrow, Carlisle United and Fleetwood Town.

We then defeated Wolves' Under-21s on penalties, before being eliminated by League One outfit Bolton Wanderers in the Third Round.
