Middlesbrough travel to Wolves as both sides look to get back to winning ways and end their mini-blips.

Here are three things to look out at Molineux:

1) Wolves to come out fighting after disappointing Brentford display

Kenny Jackett was visibly frustrated after his side fell to a 2-0 defeat at the hands of Brentford on Wednesday and his comments before this weekend's clash have centred around him demanding improvement this time out.

That's two consecutive defeats for Wolves now and Jackett has spent much of his pre-match interviews talking about what went wrong and how his side can bounce back from their poor display in midweek.

Despite having Adam Le Fondre, Benik Afobe and Sheyi Ojo starting, Wolves struggled to create many clear cut chances and they may struggle to this weekend against a strong Boro defence, but the Wolves management and fans will demand a better all-round display.

2) Boro looking to get back to their best

After winning seven games in a row, Boro are now without a win, and a goal, in three games and Aitor Karanka will be hoping that his side will find their best form at Molineux.

When the Spaniard arrived, he made the Teessiders a more solid unit and that is why they are regarded as one of the best teams in the Championship this season. However, that has been missing in the last few games.

At Reading their defending was poor and against Fulham and Cardiff they lacked a cutting edge in the final third of the pitch. Cristhian Stuani is a big miss for Boro and while he will miss the game against Wolves, Karanka will be hoping that the rest of his attacking players step up.

3) Both sides will be determined to not lose the game

Both sides are currently in a mini-blip and both will be determined to avoid another defeat going into the game. While both managers will want their side's to go for it and get some much needed points, the players may be cautious as they look to avoid another bad result.

Wolves still harbour hopes of the play-offs despite their indifferent start to the campaign and they know that a loss to Boro, followed by their 4-2 defeat to Derby, means that people will start to question whether they can beat the top sides.

Middlesbrough on the other hand have gone from scoring 13 goals in 5 games in September to not scoring at all in October. The Teessiders will want a goal to ensure that their confidence doesn't dip too far and getting an early goal could give them that belief back to go on and win the match.

They will both probably start the game cautiously, worrying that a misplaced pass or a missed opportunity could cost them three points, but if both sides go for it and attack each other then it could be an exciting encounter.
