Team News
Middlesbrough
Swansea
- Club captain Jonny Howson is carrying a knock and is a doubt for Middlesbrough, so expect Dan Barlaser to partner Hayden Hackney in midweek.
- Centre-back Dael Fry is also unavailable as he continues to recover from a long-term injury.
- Andy Fisher picked up an injury during pre-season, so Lawrence Vigoroux will be the man between the sticks for the first handful of games.
- The back four will be a familiar one, but further forward expect debuts for Eom Ji-Sung and Goncalo Franco.
This was a sure thing at 1-0
Emmanuel Latte Lath TSA +150
Has Carrick got his charges ready. There are never a great amount of goals at the Riverside but Swansea will arrive to try and show that is true nd block out Boro. I only see one winner, Boro 1-0 or a squeaky win by a goal.
