Soccer Friday pick from the EFL Championship: Fulham vs Middlesborough

The race for automatic promotion to the richest league in the world is in full swing.

West Bromwich Albion (53 points) leads Leeds United (52 points) by a single point at the top of the EFL Championship, but the trailing pack has started to reel in the leaders.

One of those teams, Fulham (45 points), can cut the gap to Leeds down to just four points with a win Friday over a Middlesborough team that had a tough Tuesday battle with Tottenham in the F.A. Cup.

Look for Fulham to take advantage of the tired legs of its opponent and get a win.
