Sunderland vs Newcastle United Match Preview

The stage for the third round of the FA Cup is set as Championship side Sunderland AFC takes on top-flight side Newcastle United at the Stadium of Light. Eddie Howe’s men have been on a tough run of form as of late, losing four out of their last five games in the Premier League, and will be looking ahead to bounce back to winning ways by qualifying for the fourth round of the FA Cup.

On the other hand, Sunderland AFC is currently sixth in the Championship table having played 26 games so far. They are currently a point ahead of Hull City and two behind West Bromwich Albion and would be aiming to get back into the Premier League after seven years by qualifying for the playoffs 

It’s going to be an exciting fixture on Saturday evening as both these teams take on each other with a place into the next round on the line.
