Middlesbrough are hoping to continue their brilliant start to the season by beating West Bromwich Albion.

Rob Edwards‘ side are unbeaten in the league after salvaging a stoppage-time draw against Preston North End but face a tough test against West Brom, who have made a great start themselves.

Under the watch of Ryan Mason, the Baggies have been excellent to watch and we are predicting a brilliant Championship game.

Many had written off Middlesbrough, but a win tonight could break a 28-year record.

Middlesbrough aiming to make it four wins in a row vs West Brom

Home advantage could be key in this early top of the table clash, and if previous results are anything to go by, Boro are the favourites.

As it stands, the Teesside giants have won their past three games against West Brom and a victory tonight would be the first time they have won four successive games against the Baggies in 28 years.

According to BBC Sport, this hasn’t been done since the years 1994 and 1997 and would only enhance Edwards’ relationship with fans even further.
