It's arguably the game of the weekend as the Tyne-Wear derby returns to the Premier League for the first time since 2016.
Sunderland have enjoyed a stunning return to the division after their eight years away, sitting pretty in the top half and still unbeaten at home heading towards Christmas.
Newcastle, meanwhile, have been a mixed bag with big wins being followed by disappointing losses. They have found some consistency of late and head to the Stadium of Light for what's likely to be a fiery game knowing a win will see them leapfrog their great rivals.
It's almost guaranteed to be a tense and physical game in front of a raucous crowd, which makes this Sky Bet sign-up offer so appealing.
The betting firm are offering new customers 50/1 odds on both teams to get a card in the match.

Sunderland vs. Newcastle Betting Tips
In a fixture known for its ferocity featuring tough-tackling midfielders like Granit Xhaka, Joelinton and Bruno Guimaraes, we thinks cards are very likely.
Those three to be carded in the match (15/8 with BetVictor, 19/10 with Betway and 21/10 with Paddy Power respectively) are all worth keeping an eye on.
With Anthony Gordon finding form alongside Nick Woltemade and Harvey Barnes, we fancy Newcastle to punish a Sunderland side that could end up chasing the game.
Prediction: Sunderland 1-2 Newcastle (9/1 with Bet365)
