Top place in the Championship is up for grabs tomorrow and financial imperatives make Middlesbrough desperate to return to the top flight. They are second in the form table and Charlton are bottom.
So how would you set the team up for Boro, given the squad that is available? One could go for a defensive formation making use of the counter attack and hope for a draw to continue Guy Luzon's unbeaten record. This worked at Wolves, but they have one of the poorest home scoring records in the league, 17 in all. Boro have scored 26 at home. What is the Plan B if Boro score?
The other option would be to go for a more attacking formation, starting Tony Watt up front alongside Vetokele. But that could risk another Watford style drubbing and a further increase in the already high volume of moaning. It should also be noted that Boro have conceded only eight goals at home.
The honest answer is that I don't know, but I am not sure that Guy Luzon does either.
Middlesbrough are unbeaten in the last nine meetings in all competitions, winning six. Charlton's last win was 2-1 at home in the Premier League in March 2006. Middlesbrough have won three of the last four meetings at the Riverside Stadium in all competitions, drawing the other. Charlton's last win there was 3-0 in the Premier League in August 2005.
Odds are: Middlesbrough 4/11, Draw 4/1, Charlton 15/2.

MMMMMmmmmm....difficult I'd personally go for 11 players in goal, and hit them on the break.
Hello Everyone, I am Daniel Steve by name and i live in Texas USA, i will like to talk about the goodness of God in my life after so many months of trying to get a loan on the internet and was been scammed so i became desperate in getting a loan from a legit lender online. But as God would have it, i saw a comment from a friend called William Ken and he talked about this legit loan company where he got his loan fast and easy without any stress so he introduced me to a man called Mr Mason Diego who controls a firm called Diego Loan Company, So i applied for a loan sum of ($170,000.00USD) with low interest rate of 2%, so the loan was approved and deposited into my bank account in less than 48hrs, that was how i was able to get my loan to keep my broken business running and also to pay off my bills so i am advising everyone of you who is interested in getting a loan fast and easy to kindly contact them via email: { diegoloancompany@yahoo.com } to get any kind of loan you need today, thanks as you read the greatest testimony of my life.
Daniel, the loan window shut on Monday.
Daniel, there you are. You haven't been returning any of my calls.
Where's my money?
er can we loan 11 decent footballers, a coach, a chief executive and one rich owner. PS the last one is a priority. Thank you and God bless.
Has God explained why he allowed you to be scammed in the first place? Have you heard of Mark Hulyer?
We were organized defensively and created chances on the counter against a good Wolves side. Can't see why we'd change the formation from 4-4-2. If Watt is match fit he should partner Igor up front as Harriet isn't as effective as when he is played out wide.
No thanks, Daniel I am busy helping a very nice Nigerian gentleman move a large sum of money to a safe haven and for a considerable commission.
I agree with Addickted. I was pleased with what I saw at Wolves but Igor needs more help than Harriott can give him. I'd put Watt on from the start on the understanding that me might not last an hour. Realistically I hope that we can come away no more than 2 goals down.
