Sports Mole previews Saturday's Championship clash between Leeds United and Middlesbrough.

Middlesbrough travel to Elland Road on Saturday looking to extend their excellent record away from home against Leeds United.

The Teeside club are chasing automatic promotion and sit third in the table.

Victory at Elland Road, where they are unbeaten since 2002, could see them into second place on Saturday evening.

Rhys Williams has recovered from an ankle injury, while George Friend, Andre Bikey and Faris Haroun all face late fitness tests.

Alan Tate is expected to return to Leeds United's defence after sitting out Wednesday's Capital One Cup defeat to Chelsea.
