West Ham vs Boro
Should be a good game today with two teams both starting to find some form.
Will be interesting to see how Boro line up away from home after adopting a much more fluid and attacking style of play at home, do they keep a 4-4-2 with Boateng out right and no defensive midfielder in the middle or does Gary O'Neil come in to start ?
Hopefully Arca and Rochemback will start in the centre as they seem to be making a great partnership and personally i would like Gary O'Neil to take part in the match at some point.
Mido should be nearing full match fitness which could be interesting and Aliadiere will hopefully be getting used to his style of play and start being able to pick up on his flick ons etc. Definatly a strike partnership to keep your eyes on.
Wheater will hopefully continue his brilliant form this season but it will be a real test against Bellamy.
Expect Boro to line up unchanged from the destroying of Birmingham 2 weeks back although Skippy is having a late fitness test.
--------------Skippy----------------
-Young - Woodgate - Wheater - Taylor-
Boateng - Rochemback - Arca - Downing
---------Aliadiere - Mido---------------
Subs: Jones, O'Neil, Lee, Tuncay, Riggott
Expecting a tough, hard-fought game with a lot of cards being shown, but im gonna be optimistic and go with a Boro win.
West Ham 1 - 2 Boro
Bellamy Mido, Rochemback
