A scare for Joshua Griffiths on his debut in the West Brom goal.

The 21-year-old drops a corner inside his own six-yard box but the ball is hacked clear before anyone from a Rovers shirt can react and stick out a boot.

I hoped this one would be a cracker and it's really not let me down so far.

A draw would not be a bad result for the home side at all really as it would keep them 10 points clear of third-placed Boro.

Long, long way to go though and with these attacking players on show I'd be surprised if we don't have more goals.

Oli McBurnie sees a shot dip just past the post as the home side look to re-take the lead.

What a team goal that is, it's beautiful play. It's nothing more than Middlesbrough deserve.

The early goal was a sickener but Boro have built into this game.

It's a terrific game, it's end-to-end stuff, both teams are having a go.

Boro defender Tommy Smith doesn't score many but he decides to chance his arm anyway.

The former Huddersfield man smashes a shot over the crossbar from the angle of the area.

The Baggies are on top at the moment.

Rovers keeper Aynsley Pears makes a point-blank save to keep out a Darnell Furlong header.

Middlesbrough have got back into the groove, they're playing some decent football and they've started to create a couple of chances.

The game doesn't have the same feel as last year when Sheffield United were just too good.

All-action!

Best chance of the evening for the away side.

Riley McGree does well to cut the ball back for Marcus Forss about 12 yards out.

The Finn makes decent contact but his shot flies over the bar.

So nearly 2-0 to the home side!

Joel Piroe's well-hit shot comes back off the post before Chris Maxwell saves from Ryan Manning on the rebound.

Chance for the hosts but Jed Wallace smashes his left-footed effort over the bar.

Jacob Brown is denied by Tomas Vaclik in the Terriers goal.

Huddersfield can ill-afford to go 2-0 down here.

Middlesbrough will hope they can avoid a repeat of how things went when they came to Bramall Lane last season.

They were blown away 4-1 on that occasion...

Luton almost break the deadlock at Deepdale.

However, Preston defender Alvaro Fernandez heads an effort from Jordan Clark clear after Freddie Woodman made a save and the follow-up effort was blocked.

It's all Sheffield United!

Iliman Ndiaye races in behind the Boro defence but he gets caught between shooting or passing and Zac Steffen in the away goal smothers his attempt.

Baggies debutant goalkeeper Joshua Griffiths is called into action very early on.

Ben Brereton Diaz fires at goal following a one-two with Harry Pickering, but Griffiths denies the Chile forward.

That'll be a confidence booster for him.

Brereton Diaz is making the 200th league appearance of his career.

He's two shy of 50 goals in the EFL and looking to add to make it double figures in the Championship this season.

It's a poor goal. It's a free header from Oli McBurnie. It's a nothing header and it falls into the bottom corner.

We said Boro needed to keep Sheffied United quiet in the first 10-15 minutes and play on the front foot, but it's the Blades who are on the front foot and they have that early goal.
