Matchday 17 kicks off live on Sky Sports in the North East, as Middlesbrough take on Queens Park Rangers at the Riverside Stadium.
Boro lost 3-0 to Hull a fortnight ago, but could go back to within a point of the Tigers at the top of the table with victory on Friday night. QPR, meanwhile, haven't won in three matches, and former boss Neil Warnock is still overseeing proceedings at the club, with his former number two Kevin Blackwell now also on board.

On Saturday, leaders Hull go to Bristol City. The pair most famously locked horns in the 2008 Championship Play-Off Final at Wembley, when Dean Windass scored the only goal of the game to send the Tigers into the top flight. The Robins are seeking some consistency, having won twice, lost twice and drawn twice in their last six.

Leeds United have hit some form under the stewardship of Steve Evans in the last month, after picking up back-to-back wins. They host Evans' former club Rotherham United this time around, as the Whites prepare to welcome Neil Redfearn back to Elland Road.

There's another reunion taking place this weekend, as Ipswich Town host Mick McCarthy's former club Wolverhampton Wanderers to Portman Road. The Tractor Boys are out to make it three wins in a row, while Wolves are seeking just a second triumph in seven outings.
New managers Paul Lambert and David Wagner are both on the road with their respective clubs, with Blackburn visiting Preston North End and Huddersfield going to Sheffield Wednesday.
Two teams without anyone in permanent charge at present are Fulham and Charlton Athletic, and they travel to Milton Keynes Dons and Birmingham City.
Elsewhere, Brentford go toe-to-toe with Nottingham Forest at Griffin Park, Derby County - after suffering their first defeat in 11 games two weeks ago - play Cardiff City, and Reading welcome the struggling Bolton Wanderers to the Madejski Stadium.
On Sunday, there's a televised clash between Burnley and Brighton & Hove Albion near the top of the table. Brighton sit two points ahead of the Clarets in second and, depending on Hull's result the previous day, it could be a straight shoot-out for a place at the summit.
