    Leeds United will look to end their run of three league draws with a victory over Middlesbrough on Tuesday night (20:00 BST).

    The 1-1 draw to relegation strugglers Luton Town on the weekend saw the Whites exit the automatic promotion spots, though they remain just two points away from regaining their spot at the top of the league.

    However, they will need to secure victory against an in-form Boro if they are to get back into the top two.

    The Teesside club is undefeated across their past four league matches (W3 D1) to find themselves in a play-off spot and will need a win to ensure they stay there, with Bristol City, Coventry City and West Bromwich Albion all primed to overtake them if they earn three points of their own.

    • Middlesbrough have lost each of their last five Championship games against Leeds United, conceding 3+ goals in four of them.

    • Leeds have won both of their last two away league games at Middlesbrough; only once before have they won three in a row against them on the road (2003 to 2012).

    • Middlesbrough have won each of their last three home league games, last winning more in a row in March 2023 (run of 7).

    • Leeds United have won seven of their last eight midweek (Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday) league games (D1) since a 0-1 defeat at Millwall in November.

    • Leeds' Daniel Farke has won eight of his nine league matches against Middlesbrough (D1), the most he has defeated any club in his English league career.

    Middlesbrough boss Michael Carrick applauds the fans after his side's victory against Blackburn RoversRex Features

    Michael Carrick has been in charge of Middlesbrough since October 2022

    Middlesbrough will face more difficult assignments in the run-in than the one that transpired at Ewood Park on Friday night, but their return to form in recent weeks has been stark. Such momentum could give them edge in the play-off race.

    When I last saw Middlesbrough, reporting for BBC Radio 5 Live in the middle of February, I witnessed a team short of guile, with vulnerability in defence and no control in midfield.

    That was their 3-1 defeat at Sheffield United amid a five-match losing run.

    Against a toothless and beleaguered Blackburn side, this time, they exposed the vulnerabilities of their opponents with a ruthless start, scoring two goals inside the first eight minutes.

    They looked more streetwise, more confident and managed the game expertly.

    There appears to be strong unity, too, between players, fans and a manager in Michael Carrick, who must take great credit for guiding his team back to form, two and a half years into a job he clearly loves doing.

    Tommy Conway's exquisite touch and finish in the opening 80 seconds of the game was the highlight - he's steadily stepping into the boots vacated by Emmanuel Latte-Lath as an instinctive and reliable goalscorer.

    A play-off place is in Boro's grasp, as they look to end their eight-year wait for another go in the Premier League, so long as they maintain such good mentality and strength.
