Middlesbrough and Norwich City meet tomorrow afternoon both needing the three points on offer.

Tony Pulis men are hanging on to their play-off place by the skin of their teeth and will be desperate for a win to maintain their current position.

Having lost their previous three games in a row, Boro have failed to win in four games and are coming up against the league leaders this weekend.

Daniel Farke’s men have won six games in a row and eight of their previous ten.

They sit top of the division – four points clear of Sheffield United in second place and will be full of confidence ahead of the trip to the Riverside.

Prior to the fixture being played out, Sky Sports sourced a prediction from David Prutton on the outcome of the match.

The EFL presenter said: “Three defeats on the spin for Middlesbrough before the international break, and now there are a queue of sides behind them hoping to steal their place in the play-offs.

“Norwich look unstoppable in their relentless march to promotion, and they will be refreshed and full of confidence heading to the Riverside Stadium. Away win, 0-2.”

The verdict

A clash from the top of the table with Boro clinging to a play-off place.

They need the points, as do Norwich who want to extend their lead at the top of the table and move one step closer to the Premier League.

Pulis is having a hard time right now with a lack of form or support from the fans for his methods.

And I feel another defeat will come this weekend with the Canaries winning at a canter at the Riverside.
