The key match Newcastle and supporters are looking out for is Sunderland.

There has not been a Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League since 2016, but at least two will be taking place this coming season after Sunderland were promoted back to the Premier League via the Championship play-offs.

They will meet once again in the Premier League on December 13 at the Stadium of Light - the game comes after matchday six of the Champions League.

The Magpies then host Sunderland at St James’ Park on March 21.
