The young Magpies have been handed a trip to their local rivals – who reached the final last year before losing 5-0 to FC Porto – in the last eight of the competition.

And that Tyne-Wear derby tie will be played on Wednesday, 7th March, with kick-off set for 7pm at the Eppleton Colliery Welfare Ground in Hetton-le-Hole.

Ticket details will be confirmed in due course.
