Cheltenham Town will face Newport County, Plymouth Argyle and Norwich City Under-21s in Group F of the EFL Trophy following the final draw this afternoon.

Michael Duff's side are in the southern section of the competition with three EFL clubs in each group joined by an invited club with a Category 1 Academy.
