Middlesbrough prepare to entertain Tottenham Hotspur at Riverside Stadium on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Boro are clearly on top, having won 21 and lost only 6 of the 38 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Riverside Stadium was just last season, in March 2004, the Boro carving out a narrow 1-0 victory in a Premiership match.
