Good morning!

Hello and welcome to Mail Sport's live coverage of the FA Cup derby clash between Sunderland and Newcastle, kicking off this afternoon at the Stadium of Light at 12.45pm.

This one should be one for the books. The Tyne-Wear - or more specifically, Wear-Tyne - derby hasn't been played for eight years, and this is the first iteration of the clash under both of the clubs' new owners.
