Mowbray braced for Foxes test

Middlesbrough boss Tony Mowbray believes Leicester will be their toughest opponents of the season so far at the Riverside this weekend.

The hosts go into the match with a 100 per cent record at home and Mowbray is taking nothing for granted against Nigel Pearson's side, who have lost their first three away games of the season.

"They've had a similar start to the season as us. They've won some games and dropped some points along the way," he told the Evening Gazette.

"I know big Nigel well. He'll have his team very well prepared. I would have to say they are dangerous opposition with some very good players.

"He's had some money to spend, he's put his team together. I think it's a dynamic team. It will be a big test for us - as tough a test as we've had at the Riverside so far this season.

"Hopefully we can pick a team that can be ready and up for the challenge and keep our good run of form at home going."
