In boxing terms, this is a mis-match of huge proportions with Boro enjoying just one Premiership win in the last eleven and Chelsea having gone thirteen league games since they were last beaten.
Chelsea are unbeaten in ten Premiership encounters and in eleven meetings overall with Middlesbrough and are looking for a second successive 'double' over Boro in the Premiership and sixth over us all-time.
The Londoners are also looking for their fifth double of the season having already twice beaten Wigan, Arsenal, Sunderland and Liverpool. Victory at the Riverside would be their 100th away win in Premier League history.
Boro are sixteen places beneath Chelsea and fourty-one points, fifteen wins and twenty-two goals behind the league champions and leaders. We have also conceded thirty-one more goals than Chelsea.
Jose Mourinho's men have won 75% of their away league games this season and have conceded 0.5 goals per league game away from Stamford Bridge. Boro have condeded one goal every fourty-nine minutes on average and Chelsea one every two hours fifty-five minutes.
The Londoners have won three times as many away games as Middlesbrough have won at home - nine to three - and they have not let in one goal in the last ten minutes of a Premier league match this term. Boro have let in six in stoppage time alone.
Chelsea need twenty-five more points to retain thier title and a win will put them eighteen points ahead of Manchester United. Defeat for Boro means that we could slip to within two points of a relegation place.
