Lankshear is the real deal. Five already and he's not even hitting top gear. Hellberg has us playing proper football. Came from behind for a 2-2 at St Andrew's, beat Norwich 4-3 before that. Wolves fans buzzing about one derby win, let's see them at the Riverside.
Tony, we'll see you there. Fer Lopez is in the form of his life and we've just kept a clean sheet in the derby. Peixoto's starting to click. Boro away is a proper test, but I'll take a draw and be happy.
Third hosts fourth at the Riverside Stadium on Saturday at 15:00, with Middlesbrough on 15 points from eight games and Wolverhampton Wanderers just a point behind with a game in hand. Robert Edwards' side are unbeaten in their last five, although back-to-back 2-2 draws against Millwall and Birmingham City suggest they have been leaking goals lately. Vítor Pereira's Wolves arrive on the back of consecutive 1-0 wins over Sheffield United and West Bromwich Albion. History leans towards the hosts, who have won eight of the 14 Championship meetings between the clubs since 1993/94, with Wolves winning five and just one draw. Can Middlesbrough's attack break down a Wolves side that has been grinding out narrow wins, or will the visitors move above them in the table?
