The more I consider the Newcastle/Sunderland game, the more I realize the possibility of a Sunderland win. Newcastle have a good crop of players out injured. Their regular goal scorers, Owen and Martins, won't feature in the game. Their first-choice goal tender, Shay Givens, won't feature. So we basically have a fully fit Sunderland versus a weakend/depleted/second-string Newcastle. Sunderland have already beaten a stronger Newcastle side this season and are poised to repeat that feat today.
Predicted score: Newcastle 0-2 Sunderland. Scorers: Richardson and Cisse.
Sunderland +175 =
