Middlesbrough striker Rudy Gestede looking to end 43-game winless run at Bournemouth

Rudy Gestede will return to Bournemouth on Saturday hoping to kick-start Middlesbrough's Premier League revival by ending his 43-game wait for three points.

The Teessiders have managed only four league wins all season and as a result find themselves six points adrift of safety with as many games remaining.

Gestede, a £6million January arrival from Aston Villa, has made 11 league appearances for the club and is yet to finish on the winning side, and his last taste of top-flight victory came on the opening day of the 2015-16 season when he scored the only goal for Villa in a 1-0 win at Bournemouth, some 43 fixtures ago.
