Good afternoon and welcome to Eurosport's LIVE text commentary of Middlesbrough and Manchester City. 19th-placed Boro won their first game of 2017 on Wednesday and need a second victory in four days if they're to have any chance of surviving. At the top end of the table, Man City could be out of top four by the time of kick-off and they'll need no greater incentive to win the game.

End of 2nd Half
FT
FULL-TIME: An inspirational performance from Middlesbrough who twice led but were pegged back by City. A point isn't enough at this stage for the Teessiders, City, who remain fourth, will take it though.
90'+5
Boro keep City out after a number of corners and then Kompany blazes a first-time shot well wide of the target.
90'+4
Sane's cross is intercepted by Gibson but it rolls out for a City corner...
90'+3
A game of pinball inside the Boro penalty area ends in Sane being flagged offside just as it looked as though City would steal all three points.
90'+2
CITY SUB: Aguero has picked up a knock and is replaced by Nolito.
