Boro have conceded fewer goals than Liverpool and Arsenal this season, so they're doing half of the job right.

However, they have averaged just 2.4 shots on target per match in the Premier League this season; a lower average than any other side in the big five European Leagues.

Middlesbrough aren't down yet!

I think Middlesbrough's next manager is the important thing. Aitor Karanka led them down a blind alley - I think he was a little too negative for that team. 

I'm not sure it's Steve Agnew is the man to take them back up next year if I'm honest. If you look at Leicester - they have done well with Craig Shakespeare as he was popular with the players but I'm not sure it's the same thing with Agnew. 

Celtic have the ball in the net after just 90 seconds but the offside flag was raised - follow that game in full here as Celtic try and secure the title.

Chelsea are strong favourites.

Spurs have got to go on one hell of a run now but they have only got Manchester United and Arsenal in the next few fixtures. 

Yes, I think the title race is back on. Mauricio Pochettino said they lost focus last year but this year, I think they will be okay. 

If Chelsea lose to Manchester City (depending on results today), the gap will be down to four points and then doubts will be really kicking in.

Swansea make three changes from the team beaten by Bournemouth before the international break. In come Kyle Naughton, Martin Olsson and Luciano Narsingh.

Just the one change for Boro - wildcard Adama Traore starts in place of Grant Leadbitter.

Swansea head coach Paul Clement on reports Gylfi Sigurdsson has said he wants to play for a 'big' club:  "I've no problem with Gylfi saying that because what I see in him is a player very motivated to play well here and help us remain in this league.

"I've had no conversation with him about going elsewhere. Everything has been about training hard and doing his best for Swansea every day. I see it in the extra work he puts in and, that for me, is no coincidence why he is such a good player.

"But we shouldn't worry about this. Our focus now is on preparing for Middlesbrough and the next nine games."

Wilfried Zaha is having by far the best season of his career. He's now scoring goals and getting assists.

Against Chelsea, he drove his team forward and they really could not cope with him. He had the determination and the strength to get through.

Whatever he did, he did it incredibly well. He is playing with so much confidence.

Crystal Palace have given themselves a fighting chance now whereas three or four weeks ago you would have written them off. 

The key thing in a Sam Allardyce team is that all the players will go out there and work their socks off for 90 minutes. 

There's no way Chelsea are going to blow it from here - is there?

Chelsea's surprise defeat by Crystal Palace at Stamford Bridge on Saturday makes the title race "more interesting", says Blues boss Antonio Conte.

The Premier League leaders suffered only their second home defeat of the season as Palace boosted their survival hopes with a  2-1 win .

Tottenham's win at Burnley means they are seven points behind Chelsea.

"For (the media) it's a good result, because it makes this more interesting in the championship," Conte said.

"But I always said the league finishes when you have the mathematical certainty that you won. Otherwise you must fight, you must play every game to try to win."

Swansea City head coach Paul Clement was reluctant to use the term ‘must-win’ when he was discussing today’s match against relegation rivals Middlesbrough with the media during the week.

After seemingly starting to pull clear of trouble, two successive defeats have drawn the Swans back into the mire once again – so you would think this is at least ‘must-not-lose’ if it is not quite ‘must-win’ in Clement’s eyes.

For Boro, however, the onus on victory is even greater. Winless in 11 games, the last time they won a Premier League game was way back in December.

The opposition that day? Swansea. The Swans were admittedly in the midst of Bob Bradley’s disastrous reign, but that 3-0 win – Middlesbrough’s biggest of the season – will give Steve Agnew and his players some hope this afternoon.

Celtic head to Hearts this afternoon knowing a win at Tynecastle will secure a sixth consecutive Scottish Premiership title.  

Celtic have dropped four points (FOUR) all season and are unbeaten in the league.

Ridiculous.

Does a defeat today spell doom for Middlesbrough? Would an away win leave Swansea in real peril once again?
