Marc Skinner’s Reds have been drawn in Group A - as part of the Northern Section - and will face fellow WSL sides Aston Villa and Everton, as well as Championship clubs Durham and Sheffield United.
The competition begns in early October and our fixture dates and times will be released in due course.
United met three of this season's opponents during last term’s run to the semi-finals. We defeated Durham – on penalties – and Everton in the group stage before a quarter-final triumph at Arsenal.
Meanwhile, we will take on Sheffield United in a competitive fixture for the first time since our inaugural season.
