IT’S PAY CHECKA

THE Checkatrade Trophy draw has thrown up the first Tyne-Wear derby in almost three years.

Sunderland will face Newcastle Under-21s with a last-eight place at stake.

It will be the first competitive meeting between the North East rivals since a 1-1 Premier League draw in March 2016.

Peterborough, who won the trophy in 2014, face a trip to London to meet Chelsea’s Under-21 side.

And twice-winners Port Vale’s reward for seeing off Stoke’s Under-21s in midweek is a home game with Shrewsbury. SALE OF THE CENTURY: Rafa says Toon are a bargain buy
