Newly-promoted side Middlesbrough FC (1-0-2, 5 points) will attempt to keep their unbeaten record intact as they clash with winless team Crystal Palace FC (0-2-1, 1 point) in a 2016-2017 Premier League season game at the Riverside Stadium on Saturday, Sep. 10.
Start Time and Streaming Info
The game starts at 10:00 a.m. ET. It can be viewed live online thru FuboTV.
Middlesbrough, one of the three teams promoted from the Championship to the English top flight this term, started their Premier League stint on the right foot by staying undefeated in the first three rounds of competitions.
After pushing Stoke City to a 1-1 draw in their season-opener, they beat Sunderland, 2-1, on the road at the Stadium of Light during their second game.
The team's most recent fixture resulted in a goalless tie with West Bromwich Albion again on the road at the Hawthorns on Aug. 28 as head coach Aitor Karanka's crew avoided their first defeat in the domestic league, as per Daily Mail Online.
The Baggies had controlled much of the game with their attacks but the Boro was able to fend them all off and forced another stalemate, their second in three games so far in the Premier League.
Meanwhile, Crystal Palace had been struggling in opening their campaign this season, losing two straight games then drawing their last match to finally earn a point in the overall standings.
The Eagles actually almost lost their third game this term against lowly club Bournemouth if not for the injury time goal of team skipper Scott Dann as the team managed to pull off a 1-1 tie with the Baggies at their home field of Selhurst Park on Aug. 27, ESPN reported.
Cherries midfielder Joshua King broke the game's deadlock early at the 11th minute and the visitors were able to keep the one-point advantage until the full time whistle was sounded.
Fortunately for head coach Alan Pardew's side, team captain Dann was there to make sure they gain at least a point after the hard-fought contest.
