Prediction

  • Middlesbrough's three-game unbeaten streak came to an end last Saturday as a first-half Chris Rigg goal proved enough to hand Sunderland the three points.
  • Michael Carrick's men are unbeaten at the Riverside Stadium this season, albeit with one win and two draws in three outings.
  • Centre-back Ben Wilmot put Stoke ahead in Narcis Pelach's first game in charge, but the Potters conceded three times in a 16-minute stretch in the second half as Hull came away with the points.
  • The Staffordshire side have lost four of their last five Championship matches heading into gameweek seven.
