    Middlesbrough immediately on the attack inside the first minute and Albert Adomah's cross falls to Adam Forshaw on the edge of the box, but he doesn't quite catch it cleanly and it flies over.

    It's a great chance. It sits nicely for him and he will be disappointed because it was a chance to hit the target and it goes wide.

    Bolton v Middlesbrough (13:00 BST)

    Aitor Karanka's Middlesbrough certainly appear to be hitting form at the right time as they have won their last five games in a row in the Championship.

    Bolton on the other hand are showing the form of a side that should be relegated having lost their last five straight.

    I'm sure there will be slighty strange atmosphere at the Macron Stadium today.

    Top-of-the-table Middlesbrough can go four points clear ahead of the 15:00 BST kick offs if they win in this early game, while Bolton's relegation was confirmed last weekend after their loss at Derby.

    We'll bring you all the action from Lancashire right here.
