leaders chelsea play middlesbrough, on the verge of relegation, at stamford bridge. this won't be chelsea's title? well, i think if chelsea had to pick opponents for this evening they might choose middlesbrough, who scored ten goals away from home all season. they have only won one match away from home all season, who last won here at stamford bridge in 1975, when the country had just voted to stay in the european union. that being said, middlesbrough are right now do have made a playful because if they don't get a point, they will be relegated. the frustrating thing for middlesbrough and their fans is this season they seem to play with the handbrake on, at least with their first the handbrake on, at least with theirfirst manager of the handbrake on, at least with their first manager of the season. 0nly their first manager of the season. only in the last couple of weeks, their performances and results have improved. too little, too late. in terms of chelsea, what has impressed me isa terms of chelsea, what has impressed me is a few weeks ago the defeat at 0ld me is a
