Middlesbrough head to Coventry Building Society Arena on Saturday for their Championship game with Coventry City. Time to bring you the latest player updates and predicted line ups.

Coventry City will be hoping to bounce back here after the 1-0 Championship losing effort in their last game against Luton Town. In our view, The Sky Blues will probably use a 3-5-2 formation for the game and select Brad Collins, Joel Latibeaudiere, Luis Binks, Liam Kitching, Milan van Ewijk, Ben Sheaf, Matt Grimes, Jack Rudoni, Jake Bidwell, Tatsuhiro Sakamoto and Haji Wright.

Almost everyone can be considered, as there’s just the lone fitness concern for the Coventry City manager Frank Lampard to be concerned about thanks to an otherwise robust set of players. Ben Wilson will miss out.

How Coventry City might line up against Middlesbrough

Last time out, Middlesbrough drew 0-0 in the Championship match with Norwich City. It’s our belief that The Boro seem most likely to play in a 4-2-3-1 lineup, choosing Mark Travers, Anfernee Dijksteel, Jonathan Howson, Dael Fry, Samuel Iling, Hayden Hackney, Aidan Morris, Morgan Whittaker, Kelechi Iheanacho, Finn Azaz and Tommy Conway.

Boro manager Michael Carrick has to currently contend with reduced team options. Darragh Lenihan (Ankle surgery), Riley McGree (unknown injury) and Aidan Morris (Knee injury) won’t be making appearances.
