The Group E tie has twice been postponed due to a frozen pitch with the original date first set for December 12, but will now go ahead at the third time of asking at Whitley Park on Wednesday afternoon.
The young Magpies have already been knocked out of the competition after losing their first four group matches.

Elliott Dickman has since left the club, with Ben Dawson leading the team on an interim basis until a permanent successor is appointed. Newcastle U21s have suffered two defeats since the turn of the year, with their last Premier League 2 encounter ending in a heavy 4-1 defeat at Southampton. Bristol City recorded a four-goal thrashing of Newcastle in the reverse fixture in November.
