Middlesbrough defender Ben Gibson says his side will take on Chelsea with a spring in their step at a sold-out Riverside on Sunday.
Boro have taken points from their recent visits to Arsenal and Manchester City, either side of a first home win of the season against Bournemouth, and that, according to Gibson, has sent confidence soaring.
"The results have given us a lot of confidence," Gibson told the club's website. "The Arsenal game in particular felt like a bit of a turning point.
"We followed that up with a big win against Bournemouth. Then against City we always felt like we were in the game, and Marten [de Roon] bulleted in that header.
