Wanderers kick off their Papa John’s Trophy campaign against League Two side Crewe Alexandra.

Ian Evatt's men reached the round of 16 last season but were knocked out by Hartlepool United following a narrow 1-0 defeat at Victoria Park.

Meanwhile, the Railwaymen reached the quarter-final last term after winning Group C with a 100 per cent record but were eventually knocked out by Rotherham United.

When and where is the game being played?

The tie takes place at the UniBol on Tuesday night with an earlier kick-off time of 7pm. Tickets are still available and are priced at £10 for adults and £5 for concessions.

The Whites recorded a 1-0 victory when the sides last met back in March thanks to Amadou Bakayoko’s late winner.

Wanderers also came out on top at the UniBol back in November, with Josh Sheehan and Bakayoko on target in a 2-0 victory.
