MIDDLESBROUGH v MANCHESTER UNITED BIG MATCH FACTS
Middlesbrough will run out for this Saturday teatime fixture hoping to prevent Manchester United from establishing a six-point lead at the top of the Premiership.
They can take confidence from the fact that they took four points off the Red Devils last season and humiliated them in this corresponding fixture.
MIDDLESBROUGH
Scored more than a single goal in only one of the last thirteen in all competitions. All four League victories this season have been by a single goal.
Have failed to score in the three of the last five games and indeed in half of the last eighteen fixtures in the League.
Have taken ten of the last twelve available points from the Riverside . They have not conceded there in nearly 300 minutes of football.
If Robert Huth plays it will mark his fiftieth Premiership appearance.
MANCHESTER UNITED
Won eight and drawn two of the last ten Leauge games.
Have won more Premiership games than any other club this season (twelve), dropped fewest points (seven), lost only one, have scored more goals (thirty-three) and conceded fewer than anybody else (seven).
Have not scored in only one top flight game all season.
Have opened the scoring in eleven of their fifteen Premiership games. Only Chelsea can manage better.
Have won all eight games in which they have kept a clean sheet.
Wayne Rooney needs one more goal to equal fifty in the League and should he start, he could do it in his 100th start for Manchester United.
If Luis Saha scores it will bring his total in England up to one hundred.
