This weekend has been on the hob since the day the Premier League fixtures were released, just sitting there, simmering, waiting to be turned up to the rolling boil of the past week. Sunderland and Newcastle United are proper rivals, with all the good and bad that come with it, and the Stadium of Light is going to be bouncing on Sunday. Read on as FourFourTwo brings you all the information on how to watch Sunderland vs Newcastle United online, on TV, and from anywhere.

Daniel Peretz was surprised earlier this year when he was not named number one for newly promoted Hamburg when he joined them on loan. Instead he has been left on the bench for every league match and only played in three DFB-Pokal matches -- including last week's thriller against Holstein Kiel. He had back to back wins to begin his campaign, before coming up against Kiel.

The 23-year-old has struggled for regular opportunities at the Premier League club, and he needs to play more often. Gianluigi Donnarumma is currently the first-choice goalkeeper at the club, and Trafford will need to leave if he wants to play every week. According to reports, Tottenham, Newcastle and Aston Villa might be able to provide him with an exit route in the coming months.

Manuel Neuer is still showing that he is fully capable of playing at his peak despite already being 39 years old. By the time the 2025/26 season is over, he'll be 40, but the club does not have plans of pushing him out the door any time soon - even Uli Hoeneß has said on numerous occasions that it's his dream for Neuer to eventually retire at Bayern.

Midnight was fast approaching when Eddie Howe faced a curve-ball question: if he could be offered a draw at the Stadium of Light on Sunday would he accept it? If the typically straight-bat answer no chance, we prepare to win every game was expected, Howe's subsequent reaction spoke volumes about Sunderland's recent metamorphosis. Newcastle's manager was standing on a concrete concourse at the BayArena, where his team were hugely frustrated to have been held 2-2 by Bayer Leverkusen in the Champions League on Wednesday, but his focus had switched to a potentially bigger challenge on Wearside.

I expect a very, very difficult game. Every time I see and analyse his team, I think they are extremely competitive. We are in a fine place - not an exceptional place, but a fine place. I expect us to go there with confidence and belief and a good chance of getting three points. I also expect it to be unbelievably difficult. It's nice to share experiences with good friends and colleagues like [Dyche].

Paul, everyone saw how important he is in the locker room. He's very humble and truly a key figure in the team.
