What is at stake for Newcastle and Sunderland?

Newcastle will be reeling from a heavy 7-2 defeat in the second leg of their Champions League last-16 tie against Barcelona.

Not only will they be looking to bounce back from the 8-3 aggregate loss, but they will also be seeking revenge for the 1-0 defeat they suffered in December's reverse fixture against Sunderland.

Meanwhile, the Black Cats will be aiming to extend their unbeaten away run against Newcastle, having won three and drawn two of their previous five trips to St James' Park.

A win on Sunday would move them above Newcastle in the Premier League table, which would dent the Magpies' European hopes and reignite their own aspirations of qualifying for UEFA competition.
