The 21s will continue hosting their PL2 home matches at Solihull Moors' Damson Park, and their first clash in B92 comes against local rivals Aston Villa on Monday, August 25 (ko 2pm), while there are plenty of eye-catching clashes with Manchester United, Liverpool, Arsenal and Tottenham to look forward to during Albion’s league schedule.

This season will also see the club's academy hopefuls take on new Category One teams Birmingham City and Ipswich Town. Supporters will note that, although most home matches will be played in Solihull, Albion will also play a small number of games at The Hawthorns and the club’s training ground.
