Middlesbrough vs Sunderland Prediction
Middlesbrough recently went through a change of manager, with former Stoke City and West Bromwich Albion boss Tony Pulis taking over at The Riverside. Garry Monk getting sacked was a shock to some on the outside, but he had not won the Boro faithful over at all. Pulis picked up his first win in charge against Preston North End on New Years Day.
Sunderland have changed their manager this season too, with former Wales national team boss Chris Coleman replacing Simon Grayson. Things have not been going their own way since though. In the Championship, the club are down in 23rd place and lost 1-0 at home to Barnsley on Monday.
The tip is for Middlesbrough to claim the win. They are in better form and just look like the better side in general at the moment. Sunderland will be focusing on staying in the Championship rather than an FA Cup run too, which may mean changes to the starting 11.
