Aitor Karanka will not be put off by the lessons of history and says Middlesbrough will be going all out to win the FA Cup - despite this season marking 20 years since the club were relegated after reaching two finals.
Bryan Robson’s side were beaten finalists in both the FA and League Cup and finished 19th in the Premier League.
Boro are currently two points outside the drop zone and have not won since December 17.
But Karanka senses an opportunity in the FA Cup, starting with Saturday’s fifth-round visit of League One Oxford United.
