    The Championship weekend kicks-off on Friday night with arguably the game of the weekend.

    Early pace-setters Middlesbrough welcome fifth-placed West Brom to the Riverside (20:00 BST), with the Baggies having seen their unbeaten start under Ryan Mason ended by Derby at The Hawthorns last time out.

    Boro's perfect start under Rob Edwards was halted by a 2-2 draw at Preston last weekend meaning both sides will be keen to get back to winning ways on Teesside.

    • Middlesbrough have won each of their past three league meetings with West Bromwich Albion without conceding, last winning four in a row versus the Baggies between 1994 and 1997.

    • West Bromwich Albion have only won on one of their past seven league trips to Middlesbrough (D2 L4), winning 1-0 under Slaven Bilic in October 2019 through a Hal Robson-Kanu goal.

    • Middlesbrough have picked up 13 points in five Championship games so far this season (W4 D1) – only two of the past 10 teams with 13+ points at this stage have then been promoted: Leeds United in 2019-20 and Fulham in 2021-22.

    • West Bromwich Albion have won their past two away Championship matches, more than they won in their previous 20 on the road (W1 D11 L8). The last time the Baggies won three away in a row was their first three away games of 2024-25.

    • Middlesbrough's Matt Targett has been involved in a goal in each of his two Championship games so far for the club (1 goal, 1 assist). Targett has ended on the winning side in 69.6% of his Championship appearances (16/23), the 10th best ratio of any player to make 20+ appearances since 2004-05.

    Shaw: 'Momentum is building' at Boro

    "Middlesbrough showed the character to twice come from behind, especially the second time when Preston scored in the 88th minute and you think it's done and dusted."

    "The manner of the draw, coming back and getting a draw with a last-minute goal in front of 5,600 away fans, you come away thinking that momentum is still building and the belief is there."

    The Northern Echo's Dom Shaw joins Rob Law to look back at Middlesbrough's positive start to the season as they sit top of the Championship. And what does the late-goal drama at Deepdale mean for Boro's unbeaten season going forward?
