NEWCASTLE United have been told what they must do to combat Sunderland's key strength when the two sides go head to head in the first Premier League Tyne-Wear derby since 2016.

Eddie Howe takes his side to the Stadium of Light on Sunday, December 14, with the Black Cats taking the top flight by surprise in their first season since promotion from the Championship.

Regis Le Bris’ side sit sixth in the table and picked up another point with a 1-1 draw against Liverpool.

A goal from Chemsdine Talbi threatened to shock the defending Premier League champions until Florian Wirtz danced through the defence and saw his shot go in off Nordi Mukiele. Even then the visitors could have snatched a rare win had Wilson Isidor’s one-man counterattack not been denied by Federico Chiesa’s goal-line clearance.
