UP FOR THE CHALLENGE: Stoke City striker Divin Mubama says he's relishing the challenge of taking on Middlesbrough.

DIVIN Mubama is looking for Stoke City to prove they're a good team too as they take on Championship pace setters Middlesbrough.

Middlesbrough host Stoke at the Riverside tonight (7.45pm) defending an unbeaten run to start the season that has put them top with 17 points from seven games. Stoke have won four and drawn one of their opening seven to sit third and confidence is high in both camps.

“Everyone knows it’s a big game and we've got to put in the same kind of performance we did against Norwich,” said Mubama.

“I thought we played very well and just change the scoreline and we'll be all right.
