Exeter City continue their Premier League Cup campaign by hosting Norwich City at SJP on Wednesday 11 September, 7pm.
The young Grecians will be looking to build on their fine 4-1 win away at Bromley in the opening round when they take on tough opposition in Norwich City.
This will be a great opportunity for supporters to see the future stars of Exeter City, with this year's participation in the competition our first since 2021/22. The competition assists the player pathway into the first team.
"It will be absolutely brilliant for our younger players, the level of the games,” manager Gary Caldwell said.
“We will play the games at SJP and will create a good fixture list for the younger players, alongside the Bristol Street Motors games where we play the youngsters.
“From now ‘til Christmas they will have a good level of games that will keep their development going in the right direction.”

Dan Green's Pre-Match Thoughts
PDP Coach Dan Green sat down to share his thoughts on what he believes will be City's toughest test yet in the Premier League Cup group stage.
"What we're really concentrating on is the performance levels we're trying to aspire towards and we'll have to be at our very best, Norwich will be a step up in terms of opposition," Dan said.
"They will be really difficult in many different ways to Bromley and we'll give them our full respect but we have to kick on and take another level up in terms of our individual performances in this game."
The competition also gives an opportunity for young players currently out on loan at local clubs to return to SJP and play for City during their spells away from the club, something which Dan believes only benefits their development.
"From a mentality point of view, it's important that they pull the badge on for Exeter City and play in these games and feel part of the club and feel like they're working towards something bigger than just one game," Dan explained.
"They're working towards something in their careers which can hopefully kickstart with Exeter City.
"We've been really fortunate over the years with the loan programme that we've put in place which has really helped some of these lads."
