The action continues in round 13 of the Championship as Middlesbrough and Coventry City square off at the Riverside Stadium on Saturday.
Middlesbrough were left red-faced on Sunday, as they were held to a 3-3 draw by 10-man Norwich City after giving up a two-goal lead in the final 20 minutes at Carrow Road.
That followed a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Sheffield United, with Emmanuel Latte Lath netting the only goal of the game in the 80th minute to end Boro’s two-game losing run. With 18 points from 12 matches, Middlesbrough are ninth in the Championship, behind Norwich City on goal difference.

The Sky Blues were winless in three outings, suffering back-to-back defeats to Sheffield Wednesday and Preston North End before drawing 1-1 with Queens Park Rangers. With 12 points from 12 matches, Coventry are 18th in the league.
