Jermain Defoe is eagerly anticipating Sunderland's upcoming Premier League clash with derby rivals Newcastle United.
The Black Cats host the Magpies in the Tyne-Wear derby on April 5 and striker Defoe, who has been a part of many north London clashes with Tottenham against Arsenal, is expecting big things.
"The boys have told me there's nothing quite like this game," he said.
"It's a fixture for the fans and it's a massive game for everyone involved with the football club. It's going to be a difficult one of course, but with us being at home we will have the fans right behind us."
Sunderland are also going for five derby wins in a row which Defoe is determined to achieve for the morale of the club.
"It's four victories in a row for us and hopefully that will continue. It's a game we can win," he added.
"The lads have been unbelievable in the last few matches against Newcastle."
