Championship football is back as we see Middlesbrough host Fulham at the Riverside.

These two sides are enjoying great seasons. Fulham sit comfortably at the top of the Sky Bet Championship and will be looking to extend their lead to a whopping 11 points against Boro.

Chris Wilder's side on the other hand had that unbelievable FA Cup run and they're also set for a decent finish in the league. They currently sit 5th and are well on for a playoff spot.

So how will these two high flyers fare when they face each other? Here's everything you need to know regarding Middlesbrough vs Fulham.

No real worries for either side. Fulham defender Terence Kongolo is the only real injury for either team - he has a knock that will see him sidelined until mid-April.

Prediction: Middlesbrough 1 - 1 Fulham

We think this will be a well-contested game at the Riverside. Both sides have proven they can play some really good football this season. Fulham look slightly better, but the Riverside is an intimidating place to come play your stuff. It's really difficult to call this one - so we'll say 1-1.
