Middlesbrough attacker Jeremie Aliadiere has taken a dig at former club Arsenal after Saturday's 1-1 draw.

"Do we think teams come up here with the wrong attitude? Maybe," said Aliadiere. "Last year we drew with Manchester United at home and it's cold now, it's the winter and perhaps teams like Arsenal don't like coming here.

"They know it is going to be a hard game and we will work hard. But we won't let them have a nice easy game."
