Newcastle United handed League One opposition in FA Cup – IF they see off Rochdale

Newcastle United have again been handed League One opposition in the fourth round of the FA Cup – IF they see off Rochdale next week.

The Magpies have been drawn against Oxford United at St James’s Park in the last 32, provided they beat fellow third tier side Dale on home turf in a replay.

Miguel Almiron’s goal at Spotland looked to be enough to see United through, but a late goal from Aaron Wilbraham ensured they'll do it all again next week.
