Sunderland winger Duncan Watmore has revealed that it would be a dream for him to make his debut in the Premier League in his side's Wear-Tyne derby clash against Newcastle United.
The 21-year-old has made just one appearance for the Black Cats in nearly two years at the club, but was named on the bench by Dick Advocaat in their 1-0 defeat to West Ham United in the Dutchman's first game in charge.
Watmore is hopeful of going one better on Sunday to start against the Magpies in the crucial clash at the Stadium of Light.
He told the club's official website: "It would be unbelievable to make my debut against Newcastle United, but I'm not getting ahead of myself and I need to keep my head down and keep working hard.
"If I'm picked to be in the squad then great but I have to concentrate on day-to-day training and then see where it takes me.
"It is a massive game for the club and everyone is desperate to get the three points, so we're working hard and doing all we can to achieve that."
Sunderland are 17th in the Premier League, just one point clear of the relegation zone.
