Stevenage vs Newcastle preview
Posted Saturday, January 08, 2011 by skysports.com
Stevenage host Newcastle in the FA Cup third round on Saturday hoping for a repeat of their 1998 clash. 
Borough, then of the Conference, faced Newcastle in the fourth round 13 years ago and managed to hold a Newcastle side featuring Alan Shearer, Stuart Pearce and John Barnes to a 1-1 draw at Broadhall Way.
And Stevenage gave a good account of themselves again in the replay as their Cup dream ended with a 2-1 defeat at St James' Park, which saw a controversial opening goal from Shearer.
Graham Westley steered Stevenage into the Football League last season and they would relish earning another trip to Tyneside.
The Hertfordshire side have soon settled into life in League Two and lie 13th after Monday's 4-2 home victory against struggling Barnet, which ended a run of five league games without a win.
Newcastle thumped West Ham 5-0 on Wednesday, though, to claim their third win in five games since the appointment of Alan Pardew and go up to eighth in the Premier League.
