Pat Cronin: Dalglish, best of the best

DaveLocal: Frank Rijkaard has to be the most underrated legend in this category, I cant believe no one mentioned him till now

A pair of changes for Boro boss Aitor Karanka from the side which drew 1-1 at Manchester City.

Brazilian left-back Fabio makes his first Premier League for the club since arriving from Cardiff in the summer, as George Friend misses out with a knee injury. This is Fabio's first top-flight appearance since playing for Cardiff - against Chelsea actually - in May 2014.

Attacking midfielder Gaston Ramirez returns after a one-match ban, Stewart Downing having to settle for a place on the bench.

Boro XI: Valdés, Barragán, Chambers, Gibson, Fabio, Traoré, Forshaw, Clayton, de Roon, Ramírez, Negredo.

Si's Insights: If Koeman takes Everton back to the elite then he might just earn a place as great player turned great manager. But not yet.

Sid Dodia: Bit optimistic but can see Giggs converting his playing days into managing Utd.None better then that.

CANPike: John Toshack. European and Uefa cups, league titles, domestic cups as a player. League and cup wins as manager. TooK Swansea from fourth to the first division in consecutive seasons

Eden Hazard, a man reborn.

PFA Player of the Year two seasons ago when Chelsea won the title but couldn't work out which way to shoot as the Blues finished 10th last term.

But a new manager at the club this season has seen the Belgian turnaround his form with seven goals scored in the league already.

Have a watch of Pat Nevin's analysis below on what has changed.

Middlesbrough give a first Premier League start to full-back Fabio, while The Beast Alvaro Negredo is also in the XI.

Chelsea are unchanged from their 5-0 thumping of Everton last time out, with midfielder Eden Hazard and striker Diego Costa both fit to start.

This is more than any other player in the Premier League.

When he's got his head screwed on, Diego Costa is a handful.

Mike Sunderland: Brian Clough. 251 goals in 274 games for Sunderland & Middlesbrough. As boss 2 European cups, 2 league titles, 4 league cups.

Middlesbrough

Middlesbrough head coach Aitor Karanka: "I think Chelsea are definitely one of the favourites for the league, especially as they are not playing Champions League football.

"Chelsea is another tough challenge for us. Antonio Conte is settling in the league very well but we can show once again how we can compete."

Liam Richardson: Ancelotti has to be up there, top player, even better manager, 5 European cups in total.

Disang Mokhukhedi: Zinedine Zizoo Zidane. He is on top of ma list with Champions League medal already, now he is eyeing La Liga championship now. #TrueLegend

Fahad Khan: Johan Cruyff. No question asked.

The hosts Middlesbrough have arrived too, all looking in pristine condition with their navy blue suits, well-chiselled stubble beards and gelled hair.

Like it.

Middlesbrough's return to the top flight has been...how would we describe it? Steady?

11 points from 11 games, unbeaten in three league matches and just one defeat in five.

Boss Aitor Karanka has made the decision to firm it up the back and the side have conceded just 12 goals so far.

They don't let in many, but they don't score a shedload either, just 12 to date.

'The Beast' Alvaro Negredo has been more of a mouse since returning to English football, with just one goal to his name. Can he turn around his fortunes today?

Chelsea have just arrived at the Riverside Stadium. So many of the players walking in with headphones on.

What happened to having a good old natter with your buddy as you get into the changing room?

Great players can't become great managers, so they say. 

Aitor Karanka and Antonio Conte are doing pretty well on the touchline after a wonderful playing career.

So today's question to you is:

Which footballers-turned-managers achieved great success both in their shorts and in their suits?

I'll kick you off with Franz Beckenbauer. Eight league titles, three European Cups and World Cup as player. Two league titles and World Cup as manager. #DerKaiser

Having won their last five in the league - scoring 16 goals and conceding zero - Chelsea are right in the mix for a title challenge.

So good is their form, in fact, that a victory at the Riverside Stadium today will take them to the top of the table ahead of Liverpool and Manchester City.

Antonio Conte has turned the club's form around from last season and the Blues are 14 points better off this campaign after 11 games than they were at this point last season.

Decent.

These two managers know what it takes to triumph in club football's biggest games.

Chelsea boss Antonio Conte won the Champions League with Juventus in 1996...

And Middlesbrough boss Aitor Karanka won it with Real Madrid...THREE times.

Today, they come face-to-face in the Premier League for the first time.
