WANDERERS can look forward to a tasty northern derby in the EFL Trophy… against Cheltenham Town.
Phil Parkinson’s side were handed a bizarre group in the revamped competition which also pits them against Everton’s Under-21s and Blackpool.
The Whites have already voiced their disapproval at attempts to revive the former Johnstone Paints Trophy by including 16 category A academy teams, particularly after some of the bigger clubs such as Manchester United, Manchester City and Arsenal withdrew their participation.
The group games will be played as follows:
Week commencing August 29 Everton (home)
Week commencing October 3 Blackpool H
Week commencing November 7 Cheltenham A
