Defender Richard Keogh is hoping Derby can build on their first away victory of the season over fierce rivals Nottingham Forest.
The Rams skipper led his team to their third straight win over their east midlands neighbours, while the 1-0 triumph also ensured Keogh and his fellow defenders kept a clean sheet for the first time this term.
"It is very pleasing to pick up our first clean sheet of the season and to do it at a place like the City Ground is even better," Keogh told Derby's official website.
"It is a fantastic result and one that we will enjoy but the games are coming thick and fast and we have got to go Middlesbrough and put in an equally good performance, if not better."
Boro's 100% home record was ended when they were defeated by Leicester on Saturday, and Keogh is hoping to inflict more misery on Tony Mowbray's men.
He added: "Wednesday is going to be another tough game, Middlesbrough look particularly strong at home, but we will take confidence from Sunday's result."
