Boro determined to beat Burnley

07 April 2017 17:03
Middlesbrough host Burnley on Saturday afternoon, knowing that a win is needed if they are to claw their way out of the relegation zone. Boro are seven points adrift of safety, albeit with a game in hand on Swansea and Hull above them.

Manager Steve Agnew is in no doubt about the importance of the result.

"We know where we are - we have to set up to win the game," he said. "I think they understand the importance of game, what we have to do tomorrow is carry out the game plan.

"If we do that and remain stable in terms of the game plan and see that through then I'm very confident."

Gaston Ramirez will hopefully be fit after missing the Hull City game with an ankle injury, but Fabio, Calum Chambers and George Friend have been ruled out.
