The Championship match between Middlesbrough and Sunderland is tomorrow at noon.
Tomorrow, Middlesbrough plays host to Sunderland, and Michael Carrick will lead his team to the Stadium of Light for what is sure to be another grueling contest.
Middlesbrough has improved after a poor start to the season, winning three straight matches to climb up to 17th position in the standings, just behind Sunderland in fourth.
In the Championship, the Black Cats have won five of their past six games, defeating Watford 2-0 last week while Boro defeated Cardiff City by the same margin.
And as ever when playing at Sunderland, Boro will be backed by a sold out away following, with the club revealing last month that a full allocation of 2,200 tickets for tomorrow’s game sold out almost instantly.
Last season, Middlesbrough beat Sunderland 1-0 at the Riverside whilst the Black Cats won 2-0 at the Stadium of Light.
This is another really tough outing for Boro. But they come into this one in good form and with a new lease of confidence after putting a run of wins together.
Middlesbrough could yet ramp up the Championship table like they did last season and so Sunderland will be very wary of the threat they pose.
At the same time though, Sunderland are looking dangerous right now, and so Boro also have to tread carefully tomorrow lunchtime.
It should be a sold out Stadium of Light tomorrow and in front of the Sky Sports cameras, anything could happen, with these lunchtime kick offs often springing up some surprises.
