Newcastle United will play either Rochdale or Boston United away following today’s FA Cup draw.

Boston, in the sixth tier of English Football (National League North), will have to get past Rochdale in a replay on Tuesday 10th December if they are to earn the right to host the Magpies.

The pick of the draw from the Third Round has to be Liverpool drawn at home against local rivals and struggling Everton.

Whilst the only other North East team left in the competition, Middlesbrough, get a plum tie against Jose’s Tottenham Hotspur.

Ties will be played from the 3rd to the 6th January with TV coverage to dictate future changes.
