Middlesbrough take on Leeds at the weekend in a potentially defining game for both sides.
Leeds United and Middlesbrough enter the weekend’s fixture on the back of chastening defeats.
Middlesbrough were knocked out of the FA Cup by Newport County while Leeds lost at home to title rivals Norwich City.
Neither side can afford a loss in the league this weekend, especially Boro who are seven points behind Leeds at present, albeit with a game in hand.
Middlesbrough have already sold over 30,000 tickets for Saturday’s tie and Boro fans and comic Bob Mortimer is urging more to get to the Riverside.
He sent a tweet talking up the importance of the game.
Leeds supporters responded, keen to have their say ahead of Saturday’s clash.
