FANCY a Sunderland win on Saturday? If you're from the red and white half of the borough you probably do - and if you are so inclined, you might want to have a bet.

And the nostalgic might want to take a punt on Sunderland recreating history - the biggest-ever win in a Tyne and Wear derby.

The record was created back in the 1908/09 season when Sunderland romped to a massive 9-1 win.

And if you think Roy Keane's current crop can recreate those times, bookies William Hill is offering odds of 500-1.
