The Stadium of Light will host the Tyne Wear Derby on Sunday when home side Sunderland take on visitors Newcastle United in the English Premier League. This will be the first Tyne-Wear Derby to be played in the English top flight since 2016.
Regis Le Bris’ men have suffered a slump in form; after an astounding start to their season, the Black Cats are now in a position of worry. Sunderland have registered a victory in only one of their last six top flight games. Sunderland are currently on ninth position on the league charts, and considering the fact that they were playing in the Championship in just the previous season, this is a commendable achievement.
The home record of the Black Cats will also provide some hope to the Sunderland faithful; Le Bris’ men are on an unbeaten streak of seven games while playing at the Stadium of Light this season in the league.
Newcastle United enter the fixture on Sunday with a four game unbeaten streak in all competitions in their bags, and a 2-2 draw secured against Bayer Leverkusen in the UEFA Champions League. Manager Eddie Howe will now be looking to register nothing short of victory in the Tyne-Wear Derby and lead his team to 12th position on the charts.
However, the away record of the Magpies has not been too bright this season; their 4-1 victory in their last away fixture against Everton was their first victory registered this season while playing away from St. James’ Park.
This may have a dampening effect on the spirits of the Newcastle United fans and the performance of the team.
Taking into account current forms and recent results, a draw can be predicted as the possible outcome of the Tyne-Wear Derby on Sunday.
