Middlesbrough aren't safe from relegation - yet - and so a win at the Riverside against the Premiership's bottom club Derby will be a nice Easter gift for Gareth Southgate. Paul Jewell has already started planning for life in the Championship, and Middlesbrough are a team in form after a great draw at the Emirates last weekend.
Paul Jewell's Derby hosted his old club Wigan today at Pride Park and it wasn't a case of many happy returns. Antoine Sibierski scored the winning goal to break Derby hearts as they continue to look for only their second win of the season.
A potential Premiership six-pointer here, as Derby County and Wigan Athletic lock horns in the Premier League for the first time. Derby are rock bottom of the Premiership while Paul Jewell welcomes his former club to Pride Park.
Derby's spirited display against Newcastle at St. James Park has indicated that they are improving and looking for a victory. Derby were thumped 6-0 in September at Anfield, and will be desperate for a reverse in the form here today.

Derby are looking for only their second Premiership win of the season, but West Ham know three points will take them into the top half of the Premiership.

Everton manager David Moyes could hand Tim Cahill his first Barclays Premier League start since injuring his metatarsal in March at Derby.
