A first home victory of the season is much-needed for Middlesbrough, but Aitor Karanka believes his side will prove to be survival experts.
Middlesbrough boss Aitor Karanka is confident his side have enough quality to survive in the Premier League as they look for their first home victory of the season.
A three-game top-flight losing streak was halted by a 1-1 draw at West Ham prior to the international break and now Karanka is eyeing home comforts as he prepares to welcome Watford on Sunday.
Pressure has grown on the former Real Madrid defender as Boro's wait for a win has continued, but the Spaniard insists the mood at the Riverside Stadium remains positive.
