Middlesbrough

  • Expect Michael Carrick to name an unchanged starting XI when Blackburn visit the Riverside on Saturday afternoon.
  • The home side will once again have four confirmed absentees, including Dael Fry and Josh Coburn.
  • Centre-back Kyle McFadzean is suspended for the trip to the Riverside, so expect Billy Koumetio to return to the starting XI here.
  • One further change is on the card for Blackburn with Ryan Hedges pushing for a recall further forward.

Prediction

  • Riley McGree's first-half goal was all that Middlesbrough needed to see off the threat of relegation-threatened Birmingham on Tuesday night. The Teessiders looked set for a season of mid-table mediocrity, but three straight wins have moved the hosts within five points of the play-off places.
  • Blackburn defended well after Kyle McFadzean's red card last weekend, but a late Morgan Whittaker strike stopped Rovers from taking away all three points. John Eustace's side are winless in seven league games with five of their last six ending in draws.
