Newcastle United v Sunderland: live Can Martin O'Neill make Sunderland the top team in the North East? Where will Newcastle finish this season? Email alan.tyers@telegraph.co.uk with your views. 11.40 Aww, here's Keggy in the studio. What linguistic flights of fancy will he attempt this afternoon? I'll keep you posted. Newcastle are unchanged from the team that threw away that two-goal lead against Wolves last time out. Sunderland manager Martin O'Neill has made just one change to the side beaten 4-0 at West Brom, as striker Nicklas Bendtner replaces midfielder Jack Colback, with new England international Fraizer Campbell among the substitutes. 11.35 Right then. Here are those teams. Newcastle: Krul, Simpson, Williamson, Coloccini, Santon, Ryan Taylor, Cabaye, Tiote, Gutierrez, Ba, Cisse. Subs: Elliot, Guthrie, Ben Arfa, Lovenkrands, Perch, Shola Ameobi, Obertan. Sunderland: Mignolet, Bardsley, O'Shea, Turner, Richardson, Larsson, Cattermole, Gardner, McClean, Sessegnon, Bendtner. Subs: Gordon, Bridge, Campbell, Kilgallon, Colback, Vaughan, Meyler. Referee: Mike Dean (Wirral) 11.30 A bit of a gloomy Sunday, but the prospect of a crackling match between Newcastle United and Sunderland should get us nicely warmed up for the Tottenham v Manchester United game later. We'll be live blogging that one as well so do stick around. Sunderland have been on an odd run of late, putting together three nice wins in a row before losing to Arsenal (fair enough) but then getting absolutely hammered by West Brom last weekend, which SANK MY ACCUMULATOR not that I am bitter or anything. That really was a strange result, Martin O'Neill's boys simply didn't turn up. I expect he's give them quite the rocket this week, and what more motivation could they need than a trip to their biggest rivals? Newcastle have shown some muddling form of late themselves, giving away a two-goal lead against Wolves last match, and suffering a 5-0 humiliation at the hands of Spurs prior to that. That all made their January 3-0 win over Man United seem like ancient history. Of late they have also let in five against Fulham, and beaten three of the relegation strugglers. In summary: who knows? One man who might be able to mark our card is Mr John Ley, some of whose match preview follows. I'll bring you the team news as soon as I have it. Sunderland may have finished above Newcastle three years running, but they have lost eight of the last 14 games against their local rivals and have not enjoyed a victory on Tyneside since 2001. Martin O'Neill is already hugely popular given the vast improvement in results since he became manager in December, but he knows a win on Sunday would do wonders for the club's self-esteem. Newcastle, though, remain in the hunt for Europe, they have lost just twice at home this season and have the marginally better record in Tyne-Wear derbies 53 to 44 wins to reassure them. It's going to be a close one to call.
