Ipswich boss Mick McCarthy hopes he has done old mate Chris Hughton a favour.

McCarthy's men held Middlesbrough to a 0-0 draw at the Riverside while the Seagulls won at Charlton.

The Tractor Boys manager said: “If I've done one person a favour it's Chris Hughton, because he's a mate and he's such a wonderful guy. So Chris, that's a point for you. I hope we've helped him get promoted. “I haven't got a clue who is going to go up though. I tipped Derby when they beat us, I tipped Middlesbrough when they beat us at our place, I tipped Burnley at one stage, Hull when they beat us - all of them slapped us.

"Hull are nowhere near it now, so I ain't got a clue.”
