Kit clash! Why Sunderland & Newcastle are both wearing home strips in FA Cup Tyne-Wear derby as TV viewers are left baffled

Both teams are wearing their home kits at the Stadium of Light, leaving plenty of people watching at home a bit confused. The Black Cats are in their traditional red and white stripes, and Newcastle are in their own black and white stripes.

Newcastle have rarely worn their away kit against Sunderland. They did wear navy in 2015 and grey a year earlier but traditionally, both clubs have worn their home kits for their encounters. This year, however, has seen both shirts have a larger portion of white, perhaps leading to confusion from viewers.

It's been a while since the two sides faced each other last, with that game coming in 2016. On Saturday, Newcastle managed to overcome the initial kit clash to take a 1-0 lead through a Daniel Ballard own goal, and Alexander Isak doubled the lead right at the start of the second period.

Sunderland will hope to find a way back into the game as they bid to force a replay, or even a potential upset. Newcastle will aim to see it out.
