Strachan expecting goals

Gordon Strachan is predicting goals as his Middlesbrough side attempt to belatedly kick-start their season against Leeds. The Teessiders will hope to return to winning ways in front of what is expected to be the biggest crowd of the season to date at the Riverside Stadium after taking just a single point from their last three games. Strachan told the club's official website: "Leeds have been going for it and we have scored two, three and two in our last three home games, so it looks like there could be goals." Under-pressure Strachan has endured a frustrating fortnight since the 2-2 home draw with Portsmouth, with many of his key players away on international duty. He said: "It's good to see the players back. From the team that played Portsmouth, we only had about two players here in a group of about 12 who were training."
