Championship weekend preview: Middlesbrough boss Tony Pulis wary of Reading threat

The two sides meet at the Riverside Stadium on Saturday, with Boro hoping to push back towards and the play-offs and Reading, last season's play-off finalists, trying to avoid falling into the relegation battle.
"They've got the same players and some good players, who we'll see tomorrow and we'll have to be right on it," said Pulis. "What we've got to do is play as well as what we've played in the other games with one exception and that is in the final third.
"We have got to be more clinical, we've got to take our chances."
Saturday begins with two lunchtime derbies in Yorkshire, the first sees Barnsley host Sheffield Wednesday and the second sees Paul Heckingbottom take charge of Leeds for the first time at Sheffield United, live on Sky Sports Football. sbobet8888
Leeds, Sheffield United and Middlesbrough are among the sides jostling for position in the battle to reach the top six, while two of the others in Brentford and Preston meet at Griffin Park.
They are all aiming to replace Fulham and Bristol City, fifth and sixth in the table respectively, with the Cottagers travelling to Bolton and the Robins hosting struggling Sunderland.
Only Burton are below Sunderland in the table, and they'll continue their battle to avoid relegated at mid-table Ipswich, while Hull, the other club in the bottom three, travel to Nottingham Forest. Elsewhere, Runaway leaders Wolves host QPR and second-place Derby welcome Norwich to Pride Park.
