Posh will learn their Papa John’s Trophy opponents on Friday (November 11).

The draw will take place on Sky Sports following the channel’s coverage of Birmingham vs Sunderland.

Posh legend Aaron McLean will do the honours, along with Jobi McAnuff.

Due to Posh finishing runners-up to Stevenage in Group D, they will be drawn away from home against one of the Southern Section group winners.

This means Posh will travel to face one of Colchester, AFC Wimbledon, Milton Keynes, Plymouth Argyle, Forest Green, Chelsea U21 or Ipswich on week commencing November 21.

The match will be one of five potential consecutive away matches for Posh if they beat Salford in next week’s FA Cup replay.

Posh do not play at home again until Barnsley come to the Weston Homes Stadium on December 2.
