Here's our tips: Newcastle to win, both teams to score, Bruno Guimaraes to commit 2+ fouls and Alexander Isak to score anytime

The regular price for these selections comes in at 9/1 -- but Paddy Power have boosted the odds to 11/1 just for us!

Here's why we've made those selections:

• Newcastle to win: OK, Newcastle are winless in their last nine meetings with Sunderland in all competitions - but Eddie Howe knows he simply cannot afford to lose this fixture after such a torrid spell. The Magpies will field their strongest starting XI and should have the likes of Kieran Trippier and Jamaal Lascelles available again. Sunderland, meanwhile, suffered a handful of fresh injuries over the busy festive period and have been eliminated from their last four FA Cup ties against Premier League opponents.
• Both teams to score: The Black Cats have only managed two clean sheets in their last seven home fixtures, while Newcastle are leaking goals at an alarming rate with eight conceded in their last three.
• Bruno Guimaraes to commit 2+ fouls: This one doesn't need too much of an explanation. No Newcastle player has committed more fouls than the Brazilian, who is prone to some rash challenges in big games.
• Alexander Isak to score anytime: The Sweden international will spearhead Newcastle's attack with Callum Wilson sidelined. He's netted in both of the Toon's last two games, and has 11 for the season.
