Southgate insists Middlesbrough won't lay down

Middlesbrough boss Gareth Southgate insists they won't be simple fodder for their next two opponents Chelsea and Manchester United.

"What we've got now are two games that people will look at and think we won't take much from," he said.

"But we've been good in those games in the past so there's no reason why, having gone to Arsenal and got a point, and having scored two at Anfield, we should go into any game thinking we won't get something from it.

"That has to be our attitude going to Chelsea and with Manchester United due to come here.

"We're back up to 12th and we want to be there at the end of the season if we possibly can be. That's our mentality for the last seven games."
