WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Newcastle have rarely worn their away kit against Sunderland. They did wear navy in 2015 and grey a year earlier but traditionally, both clubs have worn their home kits for their encounters. This year, however, has seen both shirts have a larger portion of white, perhaps leading to confusion from viewers.</p>

THE EXPLANATION

<p>It's been a while since the two sides faced each other last, with that game coming in 2016. On Saturday, Newcastle managed to overcome the initial kit clash to take a 1-0 lead through a Daniel Ballard own goal, and Alexander Isak doubled the lead right at the start of the second period.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Sunderland will hope to find a way back into the game as they bid to force a replay, or even a potential upset. Newcastle will aim to see it out. </p>
