English football · Sunderland (Premier League) and Boro (Championship)
Wearside against Teesside, two industrial towns 25 miles apart down the north-east coast; a derby that has grown in weight whenever the clubs have shared a division.
The two clubs are in different divisions, so the rivalry is not on this season’s league fixture list. When they are back in the same division, its games carry the rivalry in the Couchcall score again and this page moves to that league.
