Michael Carrick continues to show wonders with Middlesbrough. After an unexpected away defeat against West Brom (0:2), Middlesbrough did not leave a chance for their opponents in the next two matches. First, the team destroyed them with a score of 5:0 at home, then outplayed Swansea City with a score of 3:1. With 63 points in the asset, Middlesbrough is in third place. The difference from the league's second team, Sheffield United, was reduced to four points.

Stoke City has made progress after poor performances. Alex O'Neill's team defeated Sunderland 5-1 away and won against Blackburn Rovers at home. In the last match, the result was 3:2. According to the results of the 36th round, Stoke City has 46 points. At the moment, Stoke City is ranked 14th in the Championship standings.

Stoke City returned to the winning battle in the Championship and, twice in a row, pleased the fans with positive performances. It will be challenging to win the third time or even score points since Stoke will visit one of the best teams in the league in the current season. Michael Carrick has seriously improved the quality of Middlesbrough's game. Unsurprisingly, the club has the second-best attack in the Championship (Burnley has the best goal score). Middlesbrough is now four points behind Sheffield United in the second-place battle. Carrick's team will try to win again and increase the pressure on their competitor for direct entry into the Premier League.
