Town will host one of Chelsea U21s, Arsenal U21s, Charlton Athletic or Stevenage in round two of the Papa John’s Trophy.
The Blues are in Southern Section A in the draw for the round of 32 having been elevated to group winners following yesterday’s news that West Ham’s U21s had been docked three points for fielding an ineligible player.
Therefore, Town will now be at home in the next round to one of the teams which finished second.
The north and south sections of the draw have each been split into two groups of home and away teams with the Blues set to play one of four runners-up.
The draw takes place live on Sky Sports following the conclusion of the Port Vale-Bradford match which kicks-off at midday.
It will be hosted by David Prutton with former Newport County manager Michael Flynn and former Trinidad and Tobago international Chris Birchall.
The ties are set to be played in the week commencing November 29th with Town’s match almost certainly on Wednesday 1st December with the Crewe game on the previous Sunday.
