Data experts predict Middlesbrough, Sheffield United and Cardiff City's final Championship position

Middlesbrough have returned to Championship action under Chris Wilder – but where are the Teessiders predicted to finish this season?

Middlesbrough began the season in their usual 3-5-2 system for their season opener against Steve Bruce’s West Brom on Saturday.

The game ended in a 1-1 draw at the Riverside Stadium. Isaiah Jones gave Wilder’s side an early lead just 10 minutes into the game before John Swift equalised for the Baggies in the second half.
