Milton Keynes Dons will discover their third, and final, opponent in next season's group stage of the Papa John's Trophy tomorrow.

For the 2021/22 edition of the competition, the Dons have been placed in Group C alongside fellow League One clubs Burton Albion and Wycombe Wanderers.

As with previous years, the top-two placed teams in the four-team group progress into the knockout rounds, which will remain split by region (North/South) until the final.

The last team of Group C, who will be announced live on Sky Sports tomorrow from 4:30pm, will be one of the following Under-21s teams:

- Arsenal U21
- Aston Villa U21
- Brighton & Hove Albion U21
- Chelsea U21
- Crystal Palace U21
- Southampton U21
- Tottenham Hotspur U21
- West Ham United U21

The Dons will be hoping to improve on this season's run in the cup, which saw Russell Martin's side reach the Quarter Finals, and two of their three matches are set to be held at Stadium MK.

Full details of the competition, including fixtures, will be announced by the club in due course.
