Birmingham City prepare for Bristol Street Motors tie as draw date is confirmed
Birmingham City will be continuing their Bristol Street Motors Trophy adventure next month after they confirmed qualification from the group stage. Blues are the bookies' favourites to win the competition and the clear top scorers thus far with 12 and they now await to discover who they'll face in the round of 32, which begins in the week commencing Monday 9 December.
Blues took a point having been defeated on penalties by League Two Walsall at St Andrew's at the beginning of the campaign, but they have since dismantled Shrewsbury and Fulham under 21s, sticking seven goals past the latter, and eased into the next round as a consequence.
Here's what you need to know about the Trophy and Blues' standing in it.

Prize money
Blues earned £10,000 for each of their wins over Shrewsbury and Fulham under 21s and another £5,000 more for their draw against Walsall. Each side is given £20,000 for participating in the competition, and then you're awarded £10,000 for each victory and £5,000 for each draw in the group stage.
Sides who reach the last 32 and progress earn £20,000 more and then £40,000 if they win their last 16 tie. As much as £50,000 is up for grabs for the victors of the quarter finals and then you receive £100,000 if you win the final at Wembley - £50,000 more is sent to the runner up of the competition. If they were to win the thing from here, Blues would have accumulated up to £255,000 in prize money.
The possible opponents
The rounds 32 and 16 remain regionalised, so Blues - finishing second and unseeded - will play one of the other seven southern section group winners. They are Wycombe, Charlton, Cheltenham, Colchester, Peterborough, Burton and Exeter.
Blues can't play Aston Villa under 21s, who are in the northern section of the draw, until the quarter final stage at the earliest in the event that both sides reach that hurdle.
The odds
Blues, perhaps to be expected, are the favourites with the bookies to win the competition from here - overwhelmingly so. Currently with SkyBet the market reads...
Birmingham 7/2
Wrexham 9/1
Peterborough 10/1
Bolton 12/1
Huddersfield 12/1
Wycombe 12/1
Charlton 14/1
Stockport 14/1
BAR 16/1
