Dave Watson's Newcastle United under-18s entertain his old club, Everton, on Saturday.
The Toffees head to Little Benton for a 12.30pm kick-off as the Magpies aim to build on their 5-2 win over Derby a fortnight ago and last weekend's 2-2 draw at Manchester City.
United's Under-18s Coach Watson spent much of his playing career with Everton, lifting the FA Cup in 1995, and managed the club for a brief spell in 1997.
Liam Bell, the England under-16 international midfielder, could make his first appearance of the season while Callum Roberts has played most of his football with Newcastle's under-21s this season.
Sean Longstaff is the under-18s' top scorer this season with five and will look to add to that tally on Saturday.
The squad is: Liam Bell, Kyle Cameron, Luke Charman, Jamie Cobain, Ben Drennan, Liam Gibson, Mackenzie Heaney, Jack Hunter, Louis Johnson, Joe Kerridge, Sean Longstaff, Callum Roberts, Jordan Storey, Dan Ward, Paul Woolston.
