Middlesbrough’s team bus has been involved in a crash en route to Stamford Bridge for tonight’s must-win game against Chelsea. The incident happened on Fulham Road as the Premier League strugglers made their way to the home of the champions-elect.
It is not known if anyone was injured as a result of the collision, which is believed to have happened just before 7pm tonight (Monday).

There is not expected to be any delay to the scheduled 8pm kick-off in west London.

Middlesbrough have to win to avoid relegation to the Championship, and if nerves weren’t already on edge, they may have been after this pre-kick-off drama.

Chelsea, meanwhile, will take a huge step forward in their quest for the Premier League title with three points in front of their own fans at Stamford Bridge.
