Middlesbrough - Chelsea live updates

Antonio Conte: "It’s now important we continue and maintain our form. After an international break it’s not easy to restart but we must follow our way and work very hard. Our next game is against Middlesbrough on Sunday, we know they are really strong and it will be a tough game, but we have prepared very well."

STAT: Middlesbrough have lost their last five Premier League games against Chelsea, failing to score in each match.

Aitor Karanka: "It is always difficult to look too far into the long term. If we had lost to Arsenal, Bournemouth and Manchester City, what would have happened to me? I don’t know. If results are bad we know what is possible.Sometimes, when things are going well, it is all down to the club and the players. When it isn’t going well, it is the coach. Being the fifth longest-serving manager (in the Premier League) after three years is a reflection of how tough it is. But I am so lucky with the chairman I have here."

And here's how Boro line up today.
