London is supposed to be the epicentre of English domestic cricket but that is certainly not the case at the moment in the South Group in the Men's Vitality Blast with Surrey losing to Kent and Hampshire over the weekend while Middlesex have been beaten in three of their four matches so far in the pool.
Surrey will be in front of their home fans for this game and they will be confident of getting another win over their city rivals following dominant displays in recent years.
As for Middlesex, they did beat Sussex on Saturday but were then thrashed by Hampshire on Sunday so they need to find a way to get something from this trip south of the river.

For all the talent and power-hitters in this Surrey side, they will be looking for a far better performance from their top six in this game as it was Tom Curran who top scored for them with 32 runs from 21 balls against Kent on Sunday night.
The question is - which of the immensely strong line-up of Jason Roy, Will Jacks, Ollie Pope, Sam Curran, Dan Lawrence or Laurie Evans will step up and deliver in this clash?
Surrey have always delivered runs so their poor effort of 116 all out will be seen as a blip and their bowling attack will relish a fresh start in this game.
Look our for both Currans and Reece Topley as the main destroyers with the ball.
Jason Roy, Will Jacks, Ollie Pope (wk), Sam Curran (c), Dan Lawrence, Laurie Evans, Tom Curran, Jordan Clark, Tom Lawes, Reece Topley, Yousef Majid
Adam Thomas, Dan Lawrence, Jason Roy, Jordan Clark, Laurie Evans, Ollie Pope, Reece Topley, Sam Curran, Sean Abbott, Tom Curran, Will Jacks
Middlesex are another side who do not come into this game with a batting order in strong form after it was Luke Hollman at number seven who top scored with 47 not out from 33 balls in their defeat against Hampshire.
Skipper Leus du Plooy has an excellent white ball record, as does the experienced opener Adam Rossington, and both will look to take responsibility in this match.
With the ball, Middlesex do look a little light although Tom Helm is a consistent bowler who is getting high speeds on the radar.
Zafar Gohar and Eathan Bosch have also impressed with their accuracy of late.
Max Holden, Adam Rossington (wk), Joshua De Caires, Leus du Plooy (c), Caleb Falconer, Ryan Higgins, Luke Hollman, Eathan Bosch, Zafar Gohar, Tom Helm, Noah Cornwell

After a cloudy early afternoon, this game is forecast to be played under clear skies with the temperature likely to be in the mid-high teens throughout this match.
The Oval is an excellent track to bat on and the ball will always come through at a strong pace. Expect a par total in the first innings to be in the region of 170-190.
Following disappointing returns when batting first for both sides on Sunday, we predict that the captains of both Surrey and Middlesex will choose to bowl first if they call correctly at the toss.
This would be a huge upset if Middlesex were to travel south on the tube and return home with a win and stranger things have happened in the T20 Blast. However, our prediction is for Surrey to produce the goods and to come out with a much needed victory.
We are backing Surrey to win!
