FA Youth Cup fourth round tie confirmed | OneFootball

The Toon teenagers booked their spot in round four following a 2-1 win against Brighton & Hove Albion at Whitley Park last month, with strikes from Joe Brayson and Michael Mills sealing an impressive victory for Chris Moore's side.

United's youngsters will host their Villans counterparts, who secured a 6-0 thrashing over their Accrington Stanley counterparts in round three, at Whitley Park on Thursday, 16th January. Kick-off is set at 7pm (GMT).

The young Magpies will be aiming to win the trophy for a third time in the club's history after tasting success in 1962 before a side including Geordie midfielder Paul Gascoigne, lifted the cup in 1985.

United’s youngsters reached the quarter-finals of the competition in 2021 with a side involving Elliot Anderson and Joe White, beating the likes of Huddersfield Town, Leeds United and Watford, before exiting at the hands of eventual winners Aston Villa at St. James' Park.
