OXFORD United will host Newcastle United in the Emirates FA Cup later this month after the Sky Bet Championship club won their third round replay.
They beat Birmingham City 3-1 at St James' Park, so will visit the Kassam Stadium on January 28.
Matt Ritchie's ninth-minute penalty put the Sky Bet Championship leaders in front and Yoan Gouffran doubled the lead before half-time.
David Cotterill pulled a goal back on 71 minutes, but Ritchie's late strike saw Rafa Benitez's side safely through.
It set up the first time meeting of the U's and Newcastle in Oxford for almost a quarter of a century.
A Jim Magilton brace, along with goals from Nick Cusack and John Durnin, gave Brian Horton's side a 4-2 win at the Manor in December 1992.
United have extended the deadline for season ticket holders to keep their regular seats for the fourth round tie by 24 hours.
It has been pushed back until 5.30pm on Thursday.
