Sunderland are aiming to stay above Newcastle when the neighbours meet in the Premier League on Sunday. The Black Cats start the day 10th in the table and remain unbeaten at home in this season's top flight. Newcastle are unbeaten in four matches in all competitions, including a 2-2 draw at Leverkusen in the Champions League on Wednesday. 101GreatGoals.com has full team news from Sunderland vs Newcastle in the Premier League, as well as details on how to watch the action live.
Starting with the hosts, eventually storming their way to what was a routine 4-1 romp away at rock-bottom Wolves last time out, Manchester United will be dreaming of a repeat performance here. However, although Ruben Amorim's men might have suffered just a single defeat from any of their previous nine consecutive Premier League appearances, it is no secret that the Red Devils are still searching for some much-welcomed stability.
Starting with the hosts, claiming what was a much-welcomed boost earlier in the week as they snatched a 1-0 victory away at Pisa, Parma will be desperate to use that gritty performance as a platform to build on. However, despite eventually dragging themselves over the finish line last season as they clung to their Serie A status, it appears that the Crusaders could be destined for another relegation scrap this time around.
Everton are back at home this evening against a Newcastle side who have struggled on the road this season. The Toffees picked up a huge win against Manchester United at Old Trafford last time out, and sit on the fringes of the top half of the Premier League table. On top of that, they have the chance to extend their advantage over Newcastle in the standings to six points, with the Magpies languishing deep in the bottom half.
Sunderland head to Fulham this afternoon looking to maintain their impressive start to life back in the top flight. Regis Le Bris has worked wonders on Wearside and his side will arrive in West London in fourth place in the Premier League, following the exhilarating 2-2 draw with Arsenal before the international break. That performance showed once again that Sunderland won't be physically intimidated, although this afternoon's game is likely to be a more tactical challenge for Le Bris and his players.
