All eyes will be on the North East on Sunday lunchtime as Newcastle United host Sunderland in the first Tyne-Wear derby at St James' Park in a decade.

The Mags have not beaten their fierce local rivals in the Premier League since 2010 and lost 1-0 at the Stadium of Light in December courtesy of Nick Woltemade's own goal.

A 7-2 defeat at Barcelona in the Champions League is hardly ideal preparation for the derby, but Sunday's game offers Newcastle the perfect way to respond.

Sunderland are struggling for form themselves, with only one win in their last five games, while there are more than just local bragging rights on the line, too, with the pair separated by just two points in the table as they hunt the European spots.

It will be an electric atmosphere at St James' Park and a fiery clash to match as two teams with genuine dislike for each other battle for North East supremacy.
