Sunderland's 1973 FA Cup final hero Jimmy Montgomery has said "anybody could win" the Wear-Tyne derby match on Saturday.
Mr Montgomery was in goal during the Black Cats' shock victory against Leeds 51 years ago.
The Sunderland legend says he sees similarities between that famous FA Cup clash and the upcoming derby game.
"It's going to be the same scenario really, because we're going to be the underdogs," Mr Montgomery said.
Mr Montgomery said a "great" guest is also set to join him at the Stadium of Light to watch the FA Cup clash - Newcastle legend Bobby Moncur.
