Manchester City's academy will play Derby County at Pride Park in the Papa John's Trophy after being placed in Group F for the 2022/23 season.

Brian Barry-Murphy's under-21s will face Wayne Rooney's Derby, who are in crisis after their relegation from the Championship last season.

Derby are still in administration and looking for new owners after a prospective buyer walked away this summer. Rooney remains in charge as the Rams prepare for League One, but their off-field problems have hampered their pre-season plans so far.

Also in City 's group are League Two sides Mansfield and Grimsby Town. Mansfield missed out on promotion last season as they were beaten in the play-offs, while Grimsby secured a return to the EFL at the first attempt as they were victorious in the National League play-off final.
