Team News

Middlesbrough
Watford
  • Michael Carrick may make two attacking changes for the visit of Watford with Morgan Whittaker and Tommy Conway obvious candidates for recalls.
  • Right-back Anfernee Dijksteel returned to training ahead of the game against Sheffield United and has an outside chance of featuring on the bench on Saturday.
  • Ben Doak and Jonny Howson are the Middlesbrough players closest to a return, but they remain sidelined for the next couple of weeks.
  • Tom Cleverley will make changes to the side that was hammered by Leeds on Tuesday night with Kevin Keben, Rocco Vata and Tom Ince all pushing for starts.
  • Centre-back Angelo Ogbonna is a doubt due to a sickness bug, while four players are unavailable due to injuries.

Prediction

  • Middlesbrough conceded twice in the final 15 minutes against Sheffield United as Boro slumped to a 3-1 away defeat at Bramall Lane.
  • Saturday's hosts have now lost three straight league games and have slipped to ninth in the standings, but remain within three points of sixth-placed West Brom.
  • Watford were no match for league leaders Leeds on Tuesday night, conceding three goals in 15 minutes in the first half en route to a humbling 4-0 home defeat.
  • Tom Cleverley will be desperate for a positive result on Saturday after watching his side pick up just one point from their last five Championship matches.
