Middlesbrough midfielder Adlene Guedioura says Saturday's trip to Selhurst Park, to face his old club Crystal Palace, is a "six-pointer" in their battle against relegation.

"I have nothing to prove to them, but for sure I'm thinking about three points," Guedioura told BBC Tees.

The Algeria international added: "It's a six-point game really. When you play the teams around you, you have to win because you can take an advantage and start a good run.

"We need to go with a positive mind. We will go there with confidence."
