Middlesbrough will host Burnley at Riverside on Sunday night in another round of the 2024-25 EFL Championship campaign. The hosts will hope to pick up a win and potentially move into promotion playoff spots going into the new year.
Boro have dropped points in back-to-back games with 3-3 draws against bottom-placed Plymouth and Sheffield Wednesday. Michael Carrick’s side, who sit in seventh place in the division, went 3-0 up in the opening 30 minutes against the latter this midweek but failed to see out the win and will now hope to pick up a second victory in six games when they host third-placed Burnley.
Burnley go into the weekend high on confidence after extending their unbeaten run to 10 games with a comfortable 2-0 victory over Sheffield United on Boxing Day. The visitors, who have won three in a row, have only lost twice all season and a victory on Sunday could see them go top of the table heading into the new year.
