Newcastle United Under-18s will host Leeds United in the fourth round of the FA Youth Cup.

Newcastle's youngsters defeated Huddersfield Town in the third round after a penalty shoot-out following a 1-1 draw at the John Smith's Stadium in December and have been handed a home tie against Leeds, who progressed into round four following an 8-2 thrashing of MK Dons.

The tie will take place at Whitley Park on Saturday, 3rd April, with kick-off at 3pm (BST).

The young Magpies will be aiming to lift the famous 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.

Newcastle reached the quarter-finals in 2016/17 before their impressive run was ended by Tottenham Hotspur in a 5-3 defeat at St. James' Park.
