Middlesbrough and Fulham bring the curtain down on their seasons at The Riverside Stadium this weekend.

The Cottagers ensured their Premiership survival with victory over Liverpool last time out to give Lawrie Sanchez his first win in caretaker charge.

Sanchez will end his short stint as temporary boss on Sunday, although the Northern Ireland manager is tipped to take over full-time over the summer.

Boro will finish their first season under Gareth Southgate comfortably above the drop zone, but with European qualification some way off.

Both sides will bid to end their seasons on a high on Sunday and look for something to build on for next term.

Jonathan Woodgate has been included in Boro's squad despite being scheduled to undergo exploratory knee surgery next week.

Chris Riggott is expected to partner Woodgate at the back with Robert Huth sidelined by an ankle injury.

Emanuel Pogatetz should fill in at left-back with Andrew Taylor out after an operation on his toe.

Fulham will be without captain Michael Brown after he was handed a three-match ban by the Football Association this week.

Clint Dempsey, who scored the winner against Liverpool, is set to start in midfield for The Cottagers.

Skysports.com prediction: 2-2
