Middlesbrough boss Chris Wilder:
“100% we’re still alive [in the play-off race]. I haven’t got a crystal ball so I don’t know what’s in front of us. But there is no gimme or given result in this division.
"The two teams above us have got two difficult games to play and the teams around us have got difficult games to play, but we have too. We’re back home on Wednesday night and we understand it’s a huge game; a season-defining game for us.
"But to be in with a shout is good and if we get a result, with no one around us playing that night, we close the gap and it’s game on going into the final two games of the season. We’ve got a fighting chance and our fixtures are like everyone else's. They’re winnable, but if we don’t get it right we can drop points and there is no margin for error from here on in.”
Cardiff City boss Steve Morison:
"We are not going to worry about them. We worry about ourselves. It’s on TV and a great game to play in. We will go up and give a good account of ourselves. Everything we do is building towards the summer.
"We just want to win games. It annoys you when people question whether you are trying to win games. I’ll try and pick the best team I can for the game with the players I’ve got available.
"They’ve been doing all right. They did all right at the weekend, they just didn’t take their chances. This is their game in hand, they are right in the mix. They are a really good team. It’s no different to our game on Saturday.
They are competing at that end of the table for a reason. They had a good window and brought in some good players from Brighton and Arsenal. Hopefully this time next year we will be in that position. It’ll be a great test."
