Sports Mole previews Saturday's clash between Championship promotion rivals Middlesbrough and Watford at the Riverside Stadium.

Two Championship promotion rivals meet at the Riverside Stadium on Saturday as Middlesbrough entertain Watford.

Fourth-placed Boro have won two and lost two of their previous four matches, but a victory this weekend could see Tony Mowbray's side back in an automatic spot.

Meanwhile, sixth-placed Watford could record a third win in four league matches with a triumph on Teesside.

The hosts have a number of injury problems going into the match, with Seb Hines, Marvin Emnes, Andre Bikey, George Friend and Josh McEachran all facing late tests.

Watford are waiting on Manuel Almunia, Almen Abdi, Fitz Hall, Tommie Hoban and Jonathan Hogg to prove their fitness for the encounter.
