Our under-21s Premier League 2 play-off at home to Newcastle United will take place at 7pm on Friday, April 25.
We qualified for the play-offs by finishing eighth in the division, while Newcastle were ninth.
Last season, we got past Manchester United in the round of 16 before losing to Chelsea in the quarter-finals.
Like Newcastle, we ended this season with 10 wins from 20 matches, but we edged one point ahead of them with one more draw and one less defeat.
We also both lost our final game of the season as we fell to a 4-3 defeat at West Brom while Newcastle lost 4-0 at Manchester City.
Last time we met was at Mangata Pay UK Stadium in February, when we won 4-1 thanks to goals from Sebastian Ferdinand, Khayon Edwards, Osman Kamara and Salah-Eddine Oulad M’Hand.
It’s free for supporters to attend this fixture in Borehamwood on Friday night.
