Jonas Olsson insists Saturday's trip to Middlesbrough will be one of West Brom's toughest tests of the season and will be provide a good indication of where the club stand. First-placed Albion, the only unbeaten side in the Championship, travel to second-placed Boro looking to continue their fine start to the campaign. But vice-captain Olsson, who bagged a brace against Doncaster in midweek, knows he and his team-mates will have to be at the very top of their game to come away from the north east with a positive result. "It's a big one for us," the defender told the club's official website. "It's the only one we won away last year (in the Premier League) and I scored, so I only have good memories of the Riverside. "They have lost a couple of players but they are so strong, same as Newcastle. They will be one of the most difficult teams this season and I think this will show what we can do. We are unbeaten and want to keep that going. "It will be a huge indicator of where we are."
