(Reuters) - Middlesbrough face a "must-win" match when they host fellow Premier League relegation candidate Sunderland in Wednesday's Tees-Wear derby, striker Alvaro Negredo has said. "Derbies are always a must-win game," Negredo told the club website (www.mfc.co.uk). "This game is very important as a derby but also in the circumstances. David Moyes' Sunderland have won just twice on the road all season and have an opportunity to go level on points with the Teesside outfit at the Riverside Stadium. Middlesbrough won the reverse fixture 2-1 in August at the Stadium of Light with Negredo creating both the goals for Cristhian Stuani.
