“I mean, they might not thank me, but I really hope that Sunderland come up because Newcastle vs Sunderland games haven’t happened for such a long time that you do miss them, because they are great games to play in.”

The tie will go ahead on January 27 as they look to finally win the FA Cup – a trophy they have not lifted since 1955.
