Middlesbrough v Leicester City: Five Things to Look Out For

The Foxes make the trip to the North-East to take on promotion chasing Middlesbrough on the back of a decent point at Stoke City in Gary Rowett's first game in charge. A late goal denied them all three points but can the positivity of that second-half flow into the Riverside Stadium later tonight?

The Championship is an unforgiving beast. Leicester travel to the Riverside to face high-flying Middlesbrough on Tuesday night, bidding to build on some shreds of positivity from Gary Rowett’s first game in charge.  

Two away games in four days is as tough as it gets when you’ve taken over a team in the Championship relegation zone, but that’s what Gary Rowett and his team face as they travel to the north east to take on Middlesbrough on Tuesday evening.

Boro sit second in the league and will be looking to get back amongst the goals after a 0-0 draw against our relegation rivals Oxford at the weekend. Meanwhile, City will look to build on a much better second half against Stoke, to finally turn in a 90-minute performance that yields at least a point.
