Newcastle United vs. Sunderland Picks

Newcastle are finally picking up the pace they need and a derby with Sunderland could give them as statement win.

Sunderland have had an amazing first year back in the Premier League but a double over their rivals might be a step too far.

I’m taking the hosts to win this game.

Other markets include Anthony Gordon to score, Nick Woltemade to have two or more shots on target and Dan Ballard to get yellow carded.
