Sunderland host Leeds United at the Stadium of Light with both teams undoubtedly very content as the Premier League season reaches its halfway point.
Both clubs were promoted back to English football's top flight last season and Sunderland have outperformed all expectations.
Regis Le Bris' side have spent the vast majority of the campaign in the top half of the table and are back on home turf for the first time since their raucously received Tyne-Wear derby win over Newcastle earlier this month.
Leeds are closer to the relegation zone but have strung together an unbeaten run of four matches since boss Daniel Farke switched to a 5-3-2 formation and experienced former Everton striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin hit the goal trail.
The Sporting News looks at the key details ahead of this game, including how to watch the match, kickoff times and the weekly schedule.
