What a massive game in the EFL Championship tonight with first vs second going head to head in what is a classic six-pointer!

Coventry City have the best home record in the division, while their opponents, Middlesbrough, have the best away record in the Championship this season.

Boro come into this match as the form side having won all six of their league games whilst the Sky Blues have not won in three.

It's fair to say the chasing pack of Millwall, Ipswich Town and Hull City will be hoping the top two sides share the spoils.

It's sure to be a cracking atmosphere in front of a sell-out crowd of over 32,000 including a following of 2127 supporters from Boro!






What are your predictions for tonight's game?



The 2 of us are split, 2-1 to Boro or a 2-2 draw.

The match is live on Sky but is also being shown on ITV4 and ITV X which is great for many fans who will get to hopefully see a classic! Free to air.

Coventry seem to have fallen off a cliff. Seemed to have the league won in October. But unfortunately Lampard has a track record of not delivering, don't know how he didn't get that Derby team promoted with the players he had.

Middlesbrough lost Rob Edwards but have actually improved with their new manager.

Going to be an interesting game but I'll say this - neither are anywhere near as good as Burnley and Leeds last season.

I gave it the kiss of death with Coventry winning.

Huge result for them.

Boro looked quality, Cov weren't bad either. Bit of a wake up call, we'll need a few quality players for the Championship, should we go up
