Middlesbrough will host Sheffield Wednesday at Riverside on Boxing Day in another round of the 2024-25 EFL Championship campaign. The home side have had mixed results in recent games but remain hopeful of securing playoff football as they sit sixth in the league standings with 35 points from 22 matches.
They were held to a 3-3 draw by last-placed Plymouth Argyle in their last match falling behind three times and coming back to draw level on each occasion with Emmanuel Latte Lath scoring the final equalizer six minutes from normal time.
Sheffield Wednesday meanwhile have exceeded expectations this season and are now making a surprise push for the promotion playoffs. They picked up a hard-fought and thoroughly impressive 2-0 win over Stoke City in their last match with Josh Windass and Callum Paterson getting on the scoresheet in the second-half to secure the points for the 10-man Owls.
