The Championship meeting at The Riverside Stadium on Wednesday will see hosts Middlesbrough take to the field against visiting opponents, Sheffield Wednesday. Here is an update on the latest predicted line ups and news on player availability.
Middlesbrough prepare for this game coming off the back of a 2-2 Championship drawn result against Ipswich Town. We think that The Boro may well kick off with a 3-5-2 formation in the match with Solomon Brynn, Luke Ayling, Dael Fry, Adilson Malanda, Callum Brittain, Alex Gilbert, Alan Browne, Aidan Morris, Matthew Targett, Tommy Conway and David Strelec.
Alfie Jones and Darragh Lenihan aren’t available for Boro boss Kim Hellberg.
How Middlesbrough might line up to play Sheffield Wednesday
Previously, Sheffield Wednesday drew 1-1 in the Championship match with Charlton Athletic. There’s a good chance that The Owls might elect for a 3-4-2-1 system, starting the game with Pierce Charles, Liam Palmer, Gabriel Otegbayo, Max Lowe, Sean Fusire, Nathaniel Chalobah, Jaden Heskey, Omotayo Adaramola, Jamal Lowe, Olaf Kobacki and Jerry Yates.
Sheff Wed manager Henrik Pedersen has to choose from a squad that has some fitness concerns. Murphy Cooper (Groin injury), Liam Cooper (Groin injury) and Guilherme Siqueira (Achilles tendon surgery) will miss out on this game.
