Sunderland have won their last two FA Cup ties against Newcastle, with this the first such meeting since a 2-0 quarter-final win in 1955-56.
Newcastle are winless in their last nine meetings with Sunderland in all competitions (D3 L6, all in the Premier League between 2012 and 2016) since a 1-0 away win in August 2011. It’s their longest ever winless run against their north-east rivals.
Sunderland have won their last three home games against Newcastle in all competitions – they’ve never won four in a row against them before.
Sunderland have been eliminated from their last four FA Cup ties against Premier League opponents, since a 1-0 win against Southampton in February 2014. When playing in a lower division, they haven’t beaten a Premier League side in the competition since January 2005 (2-1 v Crystal Palace).
Newcastle have lost their last four FA Cup matches. They’ve gone out at the third round stage in each of the last three seasons, with defeats against opponents from a lower division in each of the last two.
