The draw was made on Monday evening by former Magpies striker Michael Owen and ex-England defender Martin Keown - who, incidentally, was born in Oxford.

And ball number 12 came out against the League One outfit, who Newcastle have never faced before in the FA Cup but did come up against over two legs in the League Cup in 1983/84.

The U's won 3-2 on aggregate, drawing 1-1 on Tyneside and triumphing 2-1 at the old Manor Ground. They also beat Newcastle 3-1 in the same competition in 1985/86.

Managed by Michael Appleton, the Yellows now play at the Kassam Stadium and were promoted from League Two last season.

United and Birmingham drew 1-1 at St. Andrew's on Saturday and the replay will take place on Wednesday, 18th January at St. James' Park (kick-off 7.45pm).
