Newcastle's under-18s entertain Arsenal at Little Benton on Saturday (kick-off 11am).
Kevin Richardson and Liam Bramley's youngsters have won one, drawn one and lost two of their Barclays Under-18 Premier League play-offs fixtures, but will look to extend their unbeaten run to three games against the Gunners.
England under-17 international goalkeeper Paul Woolston, who excelled in what was only his second Barclays Under-21 Premier League start against Derby on Wednesday night at St. James' Park, is likely to start between the posts.
Leading scorer Sean Longstaff and England under-16 starlet Mackenzie Heaney will also feature.
Defenders Jamie Cobain, Kyle Cameron and Michael Newberry - who all starred in United's run to the quarter-finals of the FA Youth Cup this term - are in the squad too.
Admission at Newcastle's Academy is free to all supporters.
