Team News

Middlesbrough
Sheff Utd
  • Michael Carrick could recall Matt Clarke and Tommy Conway after they returned to the bench for the clash with Bristol City.
  • Jonny Howson and Dael Fry are both back in training and could feature on Wednesday night.
  • Chris Wilder will likely revert back to a 4-4-1-1 system in midweek with Alfie Gilchrist and Jesurun Rak-Sakyi stepping into the starting XI.
  • Vinicius Souza picked up his fifth yellow card of the season on Friday and will therefore miss this game through suspension.
  • Expect Sydie Peck to deputise for him alongside Oliver Arblaster in midfield.

Prediction

  • Middlesbrough outshot Bristol City 20-9 at the Riverside Stadium on Saturday, but first-half goals from Anis Mehmeti and Yu Hirakawa condemned them to a 2-0 home defeat.
  • The general performance level has been high this season, but lapses at the back and in the final third have cost Michael Carrick's side countless points.
  • The Championship's only unbeaten side heading into gameweek 10 were no longer at the full-time whistle on Friday night as Sheffield United slumped to a 2-0 defeat against Leeds.
  • Chris Wilder's men were outclassed in every department at Elland Road and have dropped to fourth in the standings ahead of their trip to the Riverside Stadium.
