Middlesbrough going top is a big concern for everybody at the moment because of the way that the two teams have played recently.
Boro have now won six on the trot – a very impressive performance away to Sheffield United, particularly in the first half where their counter-attacking was brilliant.
And the Sky Blues, as we know, have struggled to win games recently. They have won four matches at home in December and January.
This is a huge fixture now on Monday – in the context of the season, just for the Sky Blues really to show they have still got some confidence and belief despite the run of results in the last couple of months.
Since the end of November, it's not been a great watch in terms of some of the performances and the results they've managed to grind out.
A couple of 1-0 wins at home – one before and one after Christmas against Bristol City and Swansea – and then a couple of wins in January against Leicester and Millwall both 2-1.
Everybody needs to bring their A-game on Monday now to overhaul Middlesbrough and go back to the top of the table.
I'm talking players, Frank Lampard, coaching staff, fans as well to make sure that the players know that the supporters still believe that something special can be created this season.
And that's how you achieve things in any sport really. Football particularly is for people to stay united and pulling in the same direction, so hopefully that will be the case on Monday and the balance can be redressed.
Psychologically, that would be a huge achievement, particularly bearing in mind the way the Sky Blues have played in the last six to eight weeks.
They need to reset the season in many respects by putting up a good performance against Middlesbrough and taking all three points.
