Team News

Bradford
Middlesbrough
  • Mark Hughes should look to go with a strong team for this third round clash.
  • Michael Carrick remains without absentees Anferenee Dijksteel and Matt Clarke, and could rotate his starting XI for this one.

Prediction

  • The home side are now unbeaten in their last six matches, after a resounding 4-1 victory at Newport last weekend.
  • Middlesbrough finally secured their first win of the season in the Championship, at the eighth attempt, when they came from behind to earn three points at home to Southampton last Saturday.
  • This is the first meeting between the sides in any competition since a 1-1 draw at Valley Parade in the Premier League in May 2001.
  • Boro are unbeaten on each of their last five visits and should extend that run here.
