Middlesbrough
- Dean Smith could draft Chris Mepham, Kamohelo Mokotjo and Alan Judge into the starting XI as the Bees look to rescue their shattered play-off hopes.
- The former is almost certain to start after Andreas Bjelland missed Tuesday night's defeat to Cardiff through injury, while Josh Clarke should retain his place at right-back.
- Winger Florian Jozefzoon is also a doubt after a gashed foot ruled him out of action in midweek.
- Boro boss Tony Pulis is expected to name an unchanged starting XI from last weekend's emphatic 3-1 victory over strugglers Barnsley.
- The Teessiders will check on Grant Leadbitter, who is nursing a hamstring problem, while Fabio and Rudy Gestede are long-term injury concerns.
3.00 for a Boro win?! Strange... They should win it, given the curren form of the two teams and the history between them... But double chance is not bad as well
