Newcastle went down 2-1 to Manchester United in the Capital One Cup a little over a week ago but the Magpies have an immediate chance to gain some revenge as the pair meet in a Premier League encounter at St James' Park on Sunday.

William Hill quote Sir Alex Ferguson's men at even money to overcome Alan Pardew's charges for a second time in as many weeks, Stan James price the contest at 13/5 to finish all square and the duo are 6/1 via BetVictor to play out a 1-1 stalemate.

However, Magpies fans won't need reminding of the result from the pair's last meeting on Tyneside in January, Pardew's troops recording an impressive 3-0 victory and ambitious supporters can obtain odds of 66/1 with Stan James for a repeat.

Any Newcastle triumph is available at 3/1 courtesy of Paddy Power, Skybet rate them at 7/4 in their draw no bet market and as underdogs they kick-off with a goal start in Ladbrokes' handicap betting at 1/2.

The trip to the Etihad Stadium should be Sunderland's toughest fixture of the season and the odds reflect the scale of the task facing Martin O'Neill's side, BetVictor pricing the Black Cats at a massive 14/1 to cause what would be considered a huge upset.

Man City are 1/4 with bet365 to win, a price that will be included in many accumulators but Sunderland supporters will recall the corresponding fixture last season when their side were unfortunate to only come away with a point and William Hill make them 9/2 to grab a share on this occasion as well.

A repeat of the 3-3 scoreline looks a touch ambitious at 150/1 (Skybet) but some punters might fancy Stan James's 11/1 for it to finish 1-1, especially as the Black Cats have racked up plenty of draws this term.

As huge underdogs, O'Neill's charges are given assistance in the handicaps; bet365 hand them a two-goal cushion at odds of 19/20 while more optimistic visiting fans meanwhile, can back their team at 3/1 (Ladbrokes) to shade it by a one-goal margin or tackle Paddy Power's 12/1 marked against another Steven Fletcher opener.

Middlesbrough have managed back-to-back away successes, at Blackburn and Preston, so they will be in confident mood as they prepare for the trip to a patchy Watford team.

Paddy Power quote Tony Mowbray's troops at 9/5 to clinch a maximum haul at Vicarage Road, where the Hornets are a 13/10 chance via bet365, BetVictor quote 5/2 for it to finish all square and it's 9/2 (Ladbrokes) for both halves to finish level.

A slender Boro success will probably be in the thinking of visiting supporters though and they can tackle bet365's 15/4 for Middlesbrough to eventually prevail by a one-goal margin.

Also potentially appealing is Stan James' 17/2 for Mowbray's men to finish on the right side of a 2-1 scoreline while BetVictor rate a Marvin Emnes opener at 13/2 and bet365 offer 11/10 about the first goal coming from any Boro player.

In League One, Hartlepool head to Crewe hoping to avenge the 5-0 reverse suffered in the Capital One Cup in August. Pools are available at 14/5 (BetVictor) to win and it's 12/5 via Skybet to end in stalemate.
