Middlesbrough boss Neil Warnock believes Fraizer Cambell and Josh Koroma are the two Huddersfield Town players his team must contain in order to get a result this evening at the Riverside Stadium.

Town travel to Teesside hoping for a morale-boosting response to Saturday's dire surrender of a two-goal lead to lose to rock-bottom Wycombe Wanderers, with Carlos Corberan's side in serious danger of being dragged into the relegation dogfight.

They face a team who also lost at the weekend in a 2-1 reverse at Derby County and Town have already beaten Warnock's side this season with a 3-2 win back in November when both Campbell and Koroma netted.

Koroma also teed up Carel Eiting's opener at the John Smith's Stadium that day and Warnock made it vehemently clear to his players who they needed to keep an eye on during his pre-match press conference.

“That was one of the biggest disappointments - that game and Norwich, two games where I felt we should have got six points," he told the local press.

"But we had half an hour where we couldn't defend for our lives. We kept giving the ball away stupidly and got punished. They've got players that can punish you, Fraizer Campbell and the wide lad [Josh Koroma].

“We know what we’re up against, we've just got to put our own house in order.

"I don't think we should worry about Huddersfield or anyone else, we've just got to try and have go and give ourselves an opportunity. I'll be telling the lads to try and play with a bit of freedom.

“It's not the same situation as last season, we've got an opportunity there.

“My old club Cardiff have shown what a few good results can do. Mick [McCarthy]'s come in and it's not rocket science. He's got a good squad of players there and he's not trying to change anything. It doesn't surprise me.

“We've got to play to our strengths whatever the team is, whoever's missing and work on that and be positive."
