After dropping out of the top six due to a 4-1 win for Birmingham at Elland Road against Leeds on Tuesday night. Boro will have to go playoff chasing, Leicester City in need of a result. With both sides have successfully making it into the draw for the 5th round of the FA Cup following a 2-0 win for Leicester over Swindon but Middlesbrough will have to face a replay with Sunderland after drawing 1-1 at the Stadium of light on Sunday. Leicester will be hopeful they can carry on their from their 2-0 win over Southampton in their last league outing with a win over Middlesbrough however Middlesbrough will be hopeful recent signing, Lukas Jutkiewicz can make an impact and score his first goal for the club after a dismal start to 2012 in the league, after Boro failed to gain any points in the month of January.
It is questionable where the fixture will go in terms of a result, Leicester have been inconsistent beating the likes of Southampton however losing to Barnsley at the king power. Middlesbrough however have fairly poor this calender year and it would have seemed that a Leicester win would be on the cards. But after a sprited perfomance against Premier League, Sunderland on Sunday proved that the Boro were still keen to go places this season. Last time out it was a 0-0 draw at the Riverside with the game being far from a spectacle.
