Nottingham Forest host Middlesbrough on Saturday afternoon knowing that they can move level on points with the visitors should they earn maximum points at the City Ground.

Ahead of their trip to the East Midlands, Middlesbrough have recorded four successive wins in all competitions, and a fifth will be enough to close the gap on leaders Brighton & Hove Albion to two points ahead of the remaining fixtures later in the day.

We say: Nottingham Forest 1-1 Middlesbrough

With Forest recording back-to-back victories on the road in the space of three days, and Middlesbrough boasting four wins in a row, it's difficult to separate these two sides. Boro will believe that they boast the bigger threat in front of goal, but Forest have proven over the past week they may have what it takes to grind out a result against the league's in-form sides.
