Two sides who hold promotion aspirations meet in the late kick-off as Middlesbrough will be looking to keep out an Aston Villa side who have scored 12 goals in their last three games.
Villa are seemingly embracing the attacking philosophy brought to the club by Dean Smith, although their defence still needs a little work with seven goals conceded in the past seven days including five in that remarkable draw with Nottingham Forest.
It should be an intriguing clash here given the differing styles of play. Middlesbrough seemed happy to allow Derby to attack them when they met recently - although they would have lost had it not been for a freak own goal - and may again look to soak up pressure.
You'd ideally like to see a title-chasing Boro side aiming to be on the front foot at home, but they will know the quality of this Villa attack and may have to look to break forward and capitalise on chances when they are presented.
A starting point would be to analyse the card market with Andy Davies expected to dish out a few yellows.
