Watford’s reward for beating Everton 3-1 on Monday in the FA Youth Cup Fourth Round is a home tie with either Newcastle or Arsenal in the Fifth Round.
With the two Premier League sides due to meet on Tuesday (January 17), the Hornets should soon know who they will be hosting.
Fifth Round ties are scheduled to be completed by February 11.
- Bilic at odds with Manga on automatic promotion
- Watford boss keen on Man Utd winger
- Hornets complete signing of five youngsters
Arsenal have won the competition seven times in their history, most recently in 2009.
Like the Hornets, Newcastle have lifted the FA Youth Cup twice, their most recent success was in 1985 when they beat Watford 4-1 on aggregate.
The last time Watford won the trophy was in 1989 when they beat Manchester City 2-1 on aggregate.
Although no venue has been confirmed for the game, with Watford having hosted Everton at Vicarage Road in the last round it seems likely they will do the same again for this latest tie.
