Boro vs Watford - Live match updates from the Riverside Stadium (Teesside Live)

Live updates as Middlesbrough take on Watford in the Championship at the Riverside Stadium.

They're starting to see a little bit more of the ball now, and Boro aren't getting Archer and Akpom on it enough now. This time it's a break and Archer holds it up well before feeding Akpom who spots the run of Forss who's breaking behind the last defender just over the half way line. Faced up on the edge by two, he just knocks it in between them and beats them for pace. Loose ball falls to Akpom though and although he miss-hits his initial effort, he then manages to place his header into the corner. Martins is through but puts his effort over as Steffen makes himself big and covers the angles well. Superb again from Archer as he chases down a clearance and leaves the last Watford defender for dust. In the end he's forced wide and wins a corner. Boro press and win it just outside. He spots the run of Forss and slips him through wonderfully. Good example like the first half of making yourself big and positioning yourself well. Archer made such a difference to their attack and there's been so much more energy. Boro just about do enough as Martins' effort is blocked behind for a corner.

Watford boss Slaven Bilic issues prediction on Middlesbrough (Football League World)

Watford head coach Slaven Bilic believes Middlesbrough's 2-0 loss against Sunderland and underwhelming performance at the Stadium of Light was a one-off ...

Since Carrick has come in they’ve shown how good they are and the quality they possess, and we go there now with them just two points behind us in the table. Boro aren’t to be underestimated either though – because they also have a decent amount of depth following a few productive windows and could strengthen further between now and the end of the month. They may have struggled with injuries recently – but they still have game-changers like Ismaila Sarr who could prove to be the difference this afternoon on Teesside following a strong showing at the World Cup. The one advantage the Hornets have is the fact they have brought in quite a few players this month, something that has not only provided them with depth but has also provided them with freshness. Boro have the opportunity to overtake the Hornets this afternoon with a victory, with just two points separating the sides going into this clash at the Riverside. With this, they will now be expected to be in the promotion mix at the end of the season, though they face another difficult task this afternoon as they prepare to take on Bilic’s side.
