Middlesbrough heads to this game unmotivated after a 0-3 home defeat to Aston Villa. The home team usually plays in a traditional 4-3-3, where the three most advanced players are Tavernier, Hugill and Downing. The team's brain is Englishman Clayton, the player responsible for defining and leading the attacks of his team. Having some weaknesses, Middlesbrough usually plays in its midfield, with the goal of filling its defensive gaps. The coach should have all the players at his disposal.

Confirmed Lineup: Darren Randolph, Ryan Shotton, George Friend, Daniel Ayala, Aden Flint, Adam Clayton, Jonathan Howson, Muhamed Bešić, Stewart Downing, Jordan Hugill, Ashley Fletcher.
Coach: M. Carrick.
