Sat Dec 13 08:10:00 UTC 2025: Sunderland and Newcastle Set to Clash in First Wear-Tyne Derby Since 2024
Sunderland, UK – The Stadium of Light is bracing for a heated Wear-Tyne derby this Sunday, marking the first clash between Sunderland and Newcastle since 2024. Football expert Chris Sutton believes Sunderland’s current form gives them a “real chance” against their rivals.
Meanwhile, England Gaming star Daniel ‘Stingray’ Ray, who is competing in the Uefa eEuro 2025 finals tournament, is also weighing in on Premier League predictions. Ray sees Newcastle taking the win in a 0-4 victory. He will represent the eLions at the EA Sports FC tournament in Twickenham Stadium on Saturday for a $100,000 prize pool.
Sutton predicts a 2-1 victory for Sunderland, fueled by their intense play and key players like Granit Xhaka and Noah Sadiki. He also believes Newcastle’s fatigue from their Champions League midweek fixture will be a factor. The game is expected to be the highlight of the weekend.
In other Premier League action this weekend, Sutton predicts:
- Chelsea 2-1 Everton
- Liverpool 2-2 Brighton
- Burnley 1-1 Fulham
- Arsenal 3-0 Wolves
- Crystal Palace 1-1 Manchester City
- Nottingham Forest 1-1 Tottenham
- West Ham 1-2 Aston Villa
- Brentford 2-0 Leeds
- Manchester United 1-2 Bournemouth
Ray’s predictions differ, favoring wins for Chelsea, Liverpool, Tottenham, and Manchester United, and a high-scoring draw between Brentford and Leeds. He also boldly predicts a win for Wolves against Arsenal.
