United's youngsters will host the Northern League Division One outfit, who compete in the fifth tier on English non-league football, at Whitley Park on Wednesday, 13th October, with kick-off taking place at 7.30pm (BST).

The two sides last met in the competition back in January 2020 as the young Magpies advanced into the semi-finals via a penalty shoot-out victory against the Lions, following a 1-1 draw at Sam Smith's Park, before the tournament was curtailed due to the coronavirus outbreak.

Newcastle's second-string have won the competition a record 38 times, with their most recent cup triumph coming back in 2018 after defeating Morpeth Town 3-1 at St. James' Park.
