Team News

Middlesbrough
Burnley
  • Michael Carrick could recall centre-back Dael Fry and midfielder Riley McGree after the duo were named on the bench for the clash with Huddersfield.
  • Centre-back Matt Clarke remains the home side's only confirmed absentee for the visit of league leaders Burnley.
  • Vincent Kompany looks set to recall versatile wide man Vitinho this weekend with Manuel Benson the man most likely to drop out.
  • Darko Churlinov remains sidelined and is the away side's only injury concern here.

Prediction

  • Middlesbrough's automatic promotion hopes were dealt a devastating blow last weekend as a second-half capitulation saw the Teessiders hammered 4-2 by 22nd-placed Huddersfield. Michael Carrick's men won't panic on Friday, but defeat here could see them drop behind Luton and out of contention in the battle for second place.
  • Burnley can edge ever close to mathematically ensuring their promotion this weekend. The visitors are currently 17 points clear of their hosts in third place and can seal their fate if they win at the Riverside and Luton fail to win.
