Newcastle United's U18s have been handed the difficult task of an away tie with Arsenal in the 3rd Round of the FA Youth Cup next month.
The game will be played at Barnet’s Underhill Stadium.
Arsenal may be somewhat disappointed with their start to the league campaign, as they currently sit in fourth place in National Group One, but Newcastle have fared even worse and are currently rock bottom of Group Three, having conceded 27 goals in just 9 matches.
In a one-off game, however, with extra-time and penalties to follow if the score is level after 90 minutes, anything can happen.
