From Sky Sports:
"Sunderland and bitter derby rivals Newcastle go head-to-head at The Stadium of Light, live on Sky Sports 1.
No wins in six matches following success over Reading back on 15th September has seen Roy Keane's side slip to just a point above the drop zone.
The Magpies can ill-afford another loss after back-to-back defeats, including last weekend's 4-1 humbling at St James' Park by Portsmouth.
Sunderland do not have the best of records against their neighbours having gone seven league meetings without success over The Magpies.
Niall Quinn - now Black Cats chairman - secured a 2-1 victory for Sunderland in November 2000, while Alan Shearer made his last Premier League appearance in Newcastle's 4-1 win April 2006.
Double boost
Keane has striker Andy Cole and winger Carlos Edwards back in contention from the squad that lost 1-0 to Manchester City on Monday.
Cole is yet to make his debut due to a calf problem, while Edwards has missed almost three months of action after suffering a hamstring strain against Birmingham.
The Black Cats have Paul McShane back from suspension following his red card at Arsenal, however, Greg Halford is still banned.
Michael Chopra could be recalled to the starting XI ahead of Anthony Stokes to partner the impressive Kenwyne Jones up front.
Australian forward Mark Viduka has been named in Sam Allardyce's squad after recovering from the calf problem which has kept him out of the last four games.
Suspension
However, midfielder Nicky Butt is out through suspension so Turkish midfielder Emre could start after coming off the bench against Pompey.
With Claudio Cacapa struggling with a knee injury, Czech Republic international defender David Rozehnal is likely to fill in alongside Abdoulaye Faye.
The game will come too soon for injured trio Shay Given (groin), Stephen Carr (hamstring) and Damien Duff (ankle)."

Oh wah, what are you, stupid?
This is, A BULLSHIT!
