Newcastle Vs Sunderland Premier League Highlights 20th April

By Football Daft at 19 April, 2008, 6:29 pm

Local rivals Sunderland and Newcastle will go head to head this Super Sunday, a match which is always fierce and always delivers the entertainment that it promises. Just a matter of weeks ago this game looked destined to be a 6 point dog fight with both teams struggling for survival but now both teams have a comfortable cushion between themselves and the drop and now all that is up for grabs is pride and bragging rights. Newcastle have enjoyed all the bragging rights in recent times, in the last eight meetings between the two, Newcastle have won five times and drawn 3 but this is Roy Keane’s first visit to St James’ Park as a manager and he will want to make it a memorable one rather than a forgetful one!

The only real squad problems Roy Keane has to deal with is that of Dickson Etuhu who is out for the remainder of the season but other than that he has a near-full strength squad.

Stephen Carr and James Milner are doubtful for Newcastle but Kevin Keegan is expected to play the same 11 that started against Portsmouth last time out.
