Middlesbrough suffered their second straight defeat last weekend when they were thrashed 3-1 by an inform Everton. A defeat against Crystal Palace in the preceding week and a draw against West Brom put them on a three match win-less run as they prepare for a tough test at home against Tottenham. They sit at 13th in the league table, just 2 points clear of the relegation zone.

The Spurs are unbeaten in the league with 2 wins and 3 draws from their 5 matches so far. But they are dealt with a blow by the news of Harry Kane’s latest injury which will keep him out for at least 2 months. Despite their unbeaten run, Spurs have struggled to score on a regular basis this season. The 4 goals against Stoke City on fourth match week is the only time they managed to score more than 1 goal this season.
