Middlesbrough face a trip to Liverpool at Anfield at lunchtime on Saturday, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Boro will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 37 and win only 14 of the 68 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in April 2005, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1 - 1 final scoreline in a Premiership match.
