Football League World head to The Riverside Stadium today as Middlesbrough host Nottingham Forest in the Championship.

The Teessiders are struggling massively at present after going 11 games without a win in all competitions - a run which stretches all the way back to News Years Day.

That has left Jonathan Woodgate's side in the relegation zone and facing a real uphill challenge to get back to winning ways.

The clash with Nottingham Forest is the first of 11 massive fixtures for the North East side, but will clearly not be an easy test under the lights.

Sabri Lamouchi's side face 11 huge games of their own as they look to capitalise on the wonderful season that they've played so far.

Forest are fourth in the Championship at the moment, but while a place in the automatic promotion spots seems unlikely it's essential that they finish off the job as they look to secure a play-off place.

As our graphic shows, Lewis Grabban is the man to watch out for at the Riverside Stadium after an impressive season so far.

16 goals already this term makes him one of the Championship's most lethal finishers - something which Middlesbrough will need to be wary of.

The Teessiders are expected to be without three key defenders as Daniel Ayala, Dael Fry and Anfernee Dijksteel all remain on the sidelines, meaning that Forest's attack vs Boro's defence is likely to be a decisive battle on the night.

Can you remember these former Middlesbrough strikers? Let's find out!

 

Forest have injury worries of their own, but given their lofty position in the league table they're certainly favourites for the clash at the Riverside Stadium.

Victory for Lamouchi's side will move them closer to the top three, while a win for Middlesbrough would see them move up to 19th in the table.

But should Middlesbrough lose the clash then they'll find themselves two points behind Stoke City with just 10 games to preserve their Championship status.
