Middlesbrough transfer news: Arsenal could end interest in Boro full-back and ‘save millions’, QPR defender set for Brazil switch

Middlesbrough are back in action tonight as they host champions elect Fulham at the Riverside.

Chris Wilder’s side returned to action following the international break with a 4-0 win at Peterborough United and are looking for another positive result to keep their play-off push on tracks.

A slip up could see the teams below them gain ground and even overtake depending on how other results go.

After the win over Peterborough, Wilder said: “We’re in a good position and we’re fighting to try to get back into the big time. I don’t think anyone should back away from that thought process.

“It’s a good day for us getting a result in a difficult arena and now it’s important we carry that on.

“Coming to Peterborough was never going to be as straightforward as some people made it out to be – especially with a defeat at Barnsley still quite fresh in our minds. Our attitude and mentality were really good and they had to be.”

He added: “The standard of training has been spot on during the international break and thankfully we took that into the game.

“We’ve got a huge week with Fulham coming up on Wednesday. They’ve strolled the league really while playing in second gear and it will be a great game.”
