United have been drawn to face Fleetwood Town, Morecambe and Preston North End in the group stages of this season's Central League Cup competition.
Please note - venues, fixture details and confirmed kick-off timings are tbc.
The Blues, of course, made it through to the final of this competition last season after negotiating their way through the group games to then beat Huddersfield Town in the northern final.
Bournemouth eventually lifted the trophy when they edged an entertaining encounter at St George's Park.
