Pick of the stats: Middlesbrough v Coventry City
Middlesbrough and Coventry City club badgesThis is the one we have been waiting for as the top two come face-to-face on Teesside.
Coventry's stirring 3-2 win over West Brom on Saturday, coupled with Middlesbrough being held to a 1-1 draw at Oxford means the Sky Blues hold a seven-point advantage over their opponents at the top of the Championship.
Middlesbrough are winless in their past six league games against Coventry (D1 L5), losing each of the past four in a row.
Coventry have won their past two away league games against Middlesbrough, more than they had in their previous 14 visits between 1982 and 2023 (W1 D6 L7).
