Juniors braced for Brighton
Written by Dan King
Newcastle's under-18s take on their Brighton and Hove Albion counterparts on Saturday.
The Seagulls make the long trip to the North East for an 11am kick-off at Little Benton, with United having won one, drawn one and lost one of their three Under-18 Premier League group three play-off fixtures so far.
Mackenzie Heaney and Kelland Watts were on target in last weekend's 2-2 draw at Southampton, and both are included in Dave Watson's squad this time around.
Otto Huuhtanen will be hoping to keep his place in goal while England under-17 international defender Lewis Gibson and Danish frontman Elias Sorensen are both pushing for starts.
Admission at United's Benton Academy is free.
