Team News

Bristol City
Middlesbrough
  • Ross McCrorie picked up a knock during the game against Cardiff and is a doubt for Friday's fixture.
  • Midfielder Joe Williams will return to the squad after completing his suspension, although he is unlikely to replace either Max Bird or Jason Knight.
  • Aside from George Tanner's return at right-back in place of McCrorie, no changes are expected from Liam Manning this weekend.
  • Michael Carrick could rotate both full-backs here with Ryan Giles and Anfernee Dijksteel stepping into the line-up.
  • Elsewhere, Delano Burgzorg and Finn Azaz are pushing for recalls after they were named on the bench to face Watford.
  • Riley McGree is expected back in training in the coming weeks, although Boro still have six long-term absentees.

Prediction

  • Bristol City were heading for a narrow away win against rivals Cardiff last time out after Jason Knight nodded the Robins in front on 60 minutes, but a last-minute goal from substitute Yousef Salech tied the scoreline.
  • Liam Manning's men have won five of their last six Championship matches at Ashton Gate heading into this gameweek 34 encounter.
  • Middlesbrough's board opted against sacking Michael Carrick off the back of a 1-0 defeat against an inconsistent Watford side, offering the former Manchester United midfielder more time to turn Boro's fortunes around.
  • The Teessiders have lost four consecutive league matches and are dropping away from the play-off race.
