Posh boss Darren Ferguson with the EFL Trophy at Wembley in 2014.

Posh were drawn away to West Ham Under 21s, but the Premier League club exercised their right to play the tie away from home.

The tie will take place at the Weston Homes Stadium on week commencing Monday, December 7. Posh are at Portsmouth for a League One fixture on December 5.
