Carabao Cup and Papa Johns Trophy: Derby County to face Mansfield Town in both competitions
- Published
Derby will take on former boss Nigel Clough's Mansfield in two English Football League competitions next term having been drawn against them in the Carabao Cup and Papa Johns Trophy.
The financially-troubled Rams make up northern group F along with Mansfield, Grimsby and Manchester City Under-21s in the trophy.
They will also face the Stags in the Carabao Cup first round in August.
The 35 first-round games are scheduled for the week beginning 8 August.
Elsewhere in the Carabao Cup, newly-promoted Stockport County travel to Harrogate Town on their return to the EFL after an 11-year absence, while fellow National League promotion winners Grimsby Town welcome Crewe Alexandra.
Bolton Wanderers face off against local rivals Salford City and Sheffield Wednesday and Sunderland meet again after their League One play-off semi-final last season, while Ipswich Town take on nearby Colchester United.
Premier League clubs, along with EFL newcomers Burnley and Watford, will enter the competition at the second-round stage.
