Team News

Middlesbrough
Plymouth
  • Michael Carrick could reintroduce centre-back Dael Fry this weekend with Jonny Howson dropping to the bench.
  • Further forward, expect at least one change with Kelechi Iheanacho pushing for a recall.
  • Ben Doak, Neto Borges and Luke Ayling are among eight players unavailable for the home side.
  • Muhamed Tijani may have earned himself a start after scoring the winner from the bench last weekend.
  • Elsewhere, Miron Muslic could hand a start to wing-back Joe Edwards, with Nathaniel Ogbeta dropping to the bench.
  • Matty Sorinola and Nikola Katic have both joined the Plymouth injury list after missing the clash with Sheffield United.

Prediction

  • Middlesbrough couldn't produce a response after going 1-0 down away from home against play-off chasing rivals Millwall last time out as the Teessiders suffered a brutal defeat.
  • Back-to-back losses mean that Michael Carrick's side are three points behind sixth-placed Coventry with four games remaining.
  • Plymouth's case looked hopeless heading into the final 10 minutes against promotion contenders Sheffield United, but two late goals from Ryan Hardie and Muhamed Tijani sealed a remarkable comeback win.
  • Miron Muslic's men have plenty of momentum and are now only three points behind 21st-placed Derby after winning two of their last three Championship fixtures.
