Middlesbrough v Leicester: Live blog goal updates and latest score
HT: MIDDLESBROUGH 0 - 0 LEICESTER
Analysis from our reporter, Joe Short
Middlesbrough have done exactly as expected and turned the pressure up a notch, but they’re still a long way off creating a major opening here.
The intensity going forward has certainly increased. However, Leicester are packing the box with the sort of fight that a team without a Premier League away win give when they can sense a clean sheet.
Leicester still look most dangerous when the ball breaks down in the middle after Boro have sent men forward.
But the way this first half has gone it’s going to need a big mistake or a moment of magic for a goal to be scored.
Would both sides be happy with a point? It would see them inch further away from 18th-place Sunderland, who are not expected to get much against Liverpool today (3pm). So probably.
