Weekend Preview: Can Sunderland add to Newcastle’s misery?
The Weekend Preview returns for 2024 with an FA Cup special.
Headlining the show is the first Tyne-and-Wear derby since 2016, as a wounded Newcastle head to their local rivals Sunderland.
Meanwhile, the highest-profile clash sees fourth-place Arsenal welcome table-topping Liverpool on Sunday. Arsenal are in poor form, but how much will Liverpool miss Mo Salah, who’s just left for AFCON?
Another all-Premier League tie is Brentford vs Wolves, which Jon Mackenzie is off to attend. With Brentford only a couple of places outside the relegation zone, could a cup win re-ignite their season?
And finally, we whip out the crystal ball and offer some predictions for the year ahead, covering winners, losers, new trends and best players.
Host: Adam Leventhal
Guests: Nick Miller, Jon Mackenzie, Tim Spiers
