Middlesbrough must be at their best for clash with high-flying Everton

Middlesbrough head to Goodison Park on Saturday to face an Everton side riding high with 10 points and in third place in the Premier League.

Having found a powerful attack (Romelu Lukaku, Yannick Bolasie, Ross Barkley), balanced with defensive experience (Gareth Barry, Leighton Baines, Phil Jagielka), the Toffees are unbeaten and have not yet conceded any goals.

Lukaku's hat trick against Sunderland on Monday will have struck fear into the hearts of the Boro faithful ahead of Saturday's clash. This will have been the first "big" game on Middlesbrough's fixture list that will have had fans feeling nervy at the start of the season.
