Middlesbrough travel to Huddersfield Town on Tuesday with a Championship playoff place back in their sights.

After losing their first five league games of 2013, Boro have improved in recent weeks and go into this game on the back of a win over Championship leaders Cardiff City.

Meanwhile, at the other end of the table, Huddersfield are still looking to secure their league survival.

They were soundly beaten by Brighton & Hove Albion at the weekend and will be looking to respond with a win at home.
