What are the best Premier League derbies, past and present?

Derby day, there's nothing quite like it.

Gary Lineker, Alan Shearer and Micah Richards will return in the spring with their latest series of the BBC Sounds hit the Match of the Day Top 10 podcast, ranking their top 10s from an assortment of topics across the Premier League era.

One of those subjects will be derbies and we're giving you an early chance to get involved, by letting you pick your top three, with the trio seeing your choices before they record the pod.

Newcastle v Sunderland

The statistical balance between these two sides is very even. To date, having played 155 times in the three major competitions (including a two-legged promotion play-off in 1990), Newcastle have won on 53 occasions, Sunderland have won 53 and the sides have drawn 50 times.

"Here if you make a good tackle you're applauded almost as if you've scored a goal. It's almost like playing a game on the street," said ex-Sunderland and Inter Milan midfielder Yann M'Vila, who reckoned the fixture had a better atmosphere than the Milan derby.

The last time these two teams met was in 2016 but could the Tyne & Wear derby be coming back sooner than we think?
