Middlesborough, who ended a run of three consecutive defeats when winning against Wigan two weeks ago will be hoping that they can at the very least hold Chelsea to a draw, as another defeat will see them flirting with the relegation zone again.

Manager Gareth Southgate had begun to develop signs of old age, after his side went on their losing run, he had become the victim of some unfair criticism from some of the ‘Boro' supporters, who by and large are loyal bunch. He will not want to re-visit that period again so no doubt he will be urging his side to pull out all the stops against Chelsea. Punters can expect a fiercely competitive match and they may like to take advantage of the odds of a drawn game. That outcome is a best price 11/4. Chelsea are in fact no value at 8/13 to win, while those loyal to ‘Boro' might like to have a bash at them to win the match at the very good odds of 6/1. Remember they are the home team.
