"I wouldn't say I am worried about the derby against Sunderland in a few weeks, but I've been mightily surprised at how well Sunderland have done, he told Betfair. I don't think even their most hardened supporters would tell you that they'd be where they are in the league and what they're doing so far this season."
"I think one thing that's come out of Sunderland is how tough it's going to be for any team going to the Stadium of Light. I doubt Arsenal will have a tougher game this season than the one they had at the weekend."
"I guess a manager's always under pressure to get results, but I think the job that Eddie Howe has done at Newcastle and what he delivered in the Carabao Cup, the trophy, he's got a lot"
Sunderland have enjoyed a remarkable start to their return season in the Premier League. Brian Brobbey's injury-time equaliser secured a 2-2 draw with Arsenal, preserved an unbeaten record at the Stadium of Light, and ended Arsenal's eight-match run without conceding. Sunderland sit fourth in the table, seven points clear of Newcastle. The Tyne-Wear derby is scheduled for December 14, the clubs' first top-flight meeting since 2016. Alan Shearer praised Sunderland's performances, described the Stadium of Light as a difficult venue for visitors, noted Nick Woltemade as a potential problem, and acknowledged Eddie Howe's achievements, including the Carabao Cup.
