North Shields-born Adam Campbell will spearhead the Newcastle United attack against his hometown club in the quarter-finals of the Techflow Group Northumberland FA Senior Cup on Wednesday (kick-off 7.30pm).
The 18-year-old is one of three players with first-team experience involved at the Daren Persson Stadium on West Percy Road, North Shields and the Robins are hoping for a crowd of in excess of 500.
Gael Bigirimana and Curtis Good are also named in Willie Donachie and Peter Beardsley's squad against Graham Fenton's Northern League second division leaders.
Entry is £5 for adults and £3 concessions, with the hosts asking for as many people as possible to bring the correct change and to arrive in good time.
United won the trophy in 2011 and 2012 but will be looking to improve on last season's performance at the same stage of the competition when they were knocked out by Bedlington Terriers.
The squad is: Daniel Barlaser, Gael Bigirimana, Macauley Booth, Adam Campbell, Ben Drennan, Macaulay Gillesphey, Curtis Good, Tom Heardman, Kevin Mbabu, Brandon Miele, Jonathan Mitchell, James Morgan, Brendan Pearson, Jonathyn Quinn, Callum Roberts, Lubo Satka.
