The team sheets are in on Wearside, where Newcastle United face Sunderland in the first Tyne and Wear derby for seven and a half years.
Here’s the team Eddie Howe has gone with for today’s FA Cup third round clash:
STARTING 11: Dubravka; Trippier, Schar, Botman, Burn; Longstaff, Guimaraes, Joelinton; Almiron, Isak, Gordon.
SUBS: Karius, Lascelles, Krafth, Dummett, Hall, Livramento, Ritchie, Miley, Parkinson.
Kieran Trippier has passed a late fitness test and starts against Jack Clarke at right-back, with Miguel Almiron also returning to the side in attack after he was benched in our 4-2 defeat at Anfield.
Lewis Miley drops to the bench, meaning Sean Longstaff starts in midfield alongside Bruno Guimaraes and Joelinton; who moves into a deeper role after playing on the left at Liverpool. Alexaner Isak also leads the line once again, with Callum Wilson out through injury.
Sunderland XI: Patterson, Hume, Ballard, O’Nien, Alese, Neil, Ekwah, Pritchard, Bellingham, Clarke, Rusyn.
HOWAY THE LADS!
