Prediction

  • Middlesbrough produced an uninspired performance on Saturday afternoon as they were beaten 2-0 on the road by a Stoke side that sits in the relegation zone. The Teessiders have now lost four of their last five Championship matches and are in danger of being dragged into a relegation battle.
  • Norwich honed in on a top-six spot at the weekend as Josh Sargent's late strike proved enough to seal all three points against a free-falling Sunderland side. David Wagner's men now sit just one point behind sixth-placed Hull after winning four and drawing two of their last six Championship games.
