Command Analysis

Middlesbrough

Middlesbrough had a flying start to their FA Cup campaign. In the opening round of the tournament, they defeated Mansfield Town (3:2), and then sensationally knocked Manchester United out of the competition (1:1 (8:7 P)).

Chris Wilder's side didn't stop there, and in the next round they prevailed over Tottenham (1:0). As the main giant killers of the competition, they will go all out today and try to upset Chelsea.

The Boro are currently in 7th place in the Championship stadings. They have earned 59 points from 37 games (17 victories and 8 draws). In their last outing, the Smoggies beat Birmingham (2:0).

Chelsea

Chelsea are enjoying a very successful season. They were the runner-ups in the 2021-2022 edition of the League Cup and finished in second place in their Champions League group. In the first round of the playoffs, Thomas Tuchel's men cruised past Lille (4:1 on aggregate).

In the Premier League, the Blues have earned 59 points from 28 games. At the moment, they are in the 3rd position in the standings. In the last two matches, the Londoners beat Norwich (3:1) and Newcastle (1:0).

Today Tuchel's side will be without Chilwell and Niguez.
