Our Under-21s will be in Premier League 2 action against Newcastle United on Friday, February 21. The Magpies will make the trip to Meadow Park, with kick-off scheduled for 7pm (UK time).
Mehmet Ali's side have won two of their first three games of 2025, including a 2 - 1 victory over Middlesbrough last time out.
Khayon Edwards put us ahead in that game, and after the visitors equalised from the penalty spot, Michal Rosiak netted the winner in the 80th minute.
The Opposition
Newcastle have had a tough start to 2025, taking just one point from their four matches of the calendar year and conceding 15 goals across these games.
The first half of the season was far more fruitful for the North East side, who won six of their first ten league games.
This is an important game in the race for Premier League 2 playoff qualification, with 14th-place Newcastle just two points behind us in 10th; the top 16 qualify for the playoffs.
Striker Ben Parkinson has been the danger man for the Magpies this season, scoring eight goals in 13 appearances.
