Middlesbrough face a trip to Fulham at Craven Cottage on Monday evening, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Boro will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them ending up on the losing side in more than half of the games played between the two.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in May 2006, the Cottagers carving out a narrow 1 - 0 victory in a Premiership match.
