The closest Jordan Pickford ever got to a Tyne-Wear derby for Sunderland was three appearances against Newcastle United U21s, and an appearance on the bench in their 1-1 draw in 2016.
All four of his visits to St James' Park have come in his six years at Everton, and the former Black Cats star has endured mixed success against the Magpies.
There will be an extra incentive for Pickford to impress when Everton travel to St James' Park on Wednesday evening. Although Pickford appears to be leading the race for the England number one slot ahead of the World Cup, the Everton goalkeeper will be looking to lay down a marker in his battle with Nick Pope.
