Details of the fixture dates will be confirmed in due course.
The draw for the 2018/19 Premier League International Cup is as follows:
GROUP A

The International Cup consists of 12 Premier League 2 teams and 12 Under-23 sides from elite Academies across Europe, split into six groups of four.
The six group winners and the two best runners-up qualify for the quarter-finals. All knockout ties are one-off matches.
Derby had their second taste of the competition last season.
They were drawn in a group alongside Everton, Dinamo Zagreb and Wolfsburg but didn’t make it into the knockout stages.
