- Jack Wilshere is out for the season after breaking his leg during Bournemouth's 4-0 defeat to Tottenham last weekend. With Dan Gosling and Andrew Surman still doubtful, Lewis Cook may make his first Premier League start since August this weekend.
- Ryan Fraser, Marc Pugh, Jordon Ibe and Junior Stanislas will all be vying for starts in wide areas this weekend as Eddie Howe looks to arrest their slump in form.
- Steve Agnew welcomes Calum Chambers back to the team after he missed their 2-1 defeat to Arsenal on Monday due to the terms in his loan agreement from the Gunners.
- Gaston Ramirez and George Friend also made their returns and the latter should start against Bournemouth after Fabio was forced off against Arsenal with a suspected knee injury. He remains a doubt along with Rudy Gestede.
- Grant Leadbitter will miss out for the away side after suffering a hamstring injury in Monday's loss, while Victor Valdes is still with a rib injury that ruled him out of the match against Arsenal.
Gaston Ramirez really is not good enough for this level. It has to be said.
@Yes It annoys me when people down-vote me without saying why too, lol. Ramirez is a baby, a pathetic little baby who I never want to see playing for Boro again. Also I don't know if Boro made a mistake in sacking Karanka, they made a mistake in getting clueless Agnew to be the new manager. Part of me wanted to give Karanka a go until the end of the season and I feel as if Boro would be safer now, but things happened behind the scenes and I think he had to go to be honest.
@Yes Rather than down-voting me tell me why he is. Nothing about his game is good enough attacking wise, extremely lightweight too and weak defensively.
@Yes and most of Boro's side. They made a mistake sacking Karanka.
draw 1-1 or even 1-2 for Boro/
The cherries win this one @ 2 - 1 j.king and negredo to score
2-1 Boro, I hope! We need to win this so badly!
Bournemouth 0 - 0 Boro
1-1 but if Bournemouth win, their safety will be all but ensured.
1-2
