Tony Mowbray suffered a defeat last week in his first game as ‘boro manager, which saw the North East club drop into the relegation zone, quite a feat for a side who were favourites for promotion under Gordon Strachan at the beginning of the season.
Despite the fact that they clearly aren’t going up this season, they are too good a side to be in the Championship bottom three and welcome a rock bottom Crystal Palace side to the Riverside on Saturday.
Even with the signing of Edgar Davids, the struggling Eagles have found both goals and wins extremely hard to come by and manager George Burley is finding himself under pressure to get points on the board.

Despite the position of their opponents, Palace will come up against a Middlesbrough side really keen to get a vital win on the board in this six-pointer and I believe they will have just enough to achieve that. It’ll be tight, but they should prevail.
