Southampton’s youngsters have been drawn in Group D with Coventry City, Walsall and Forest Green Rovers for this season’s EFL Trophy.
League One club Coventry were winners of this competition back in 2017 and were also grouped with Forest Green, of the fourth tier, during last season's edition.
Saints are one of sixteen invited Premier League teams to compete against the 48 League One and League Two clubs, doing so for a fourth successive season.
As an invited club, all of Saints’ group stage fixtures will take place away from home.
