Team News

Middlesbrough
Watford
  • Expect a largely unchanged starting XI from Middlesbrough on the final day, although 17-year-old midfielder Law McCabe could earn a first league start after featuring heavily from the bench against Cardiff.
  • Paddy McNair is closing in on a return to action, but Michael Carrick has a considerable injury list to contend with ahead of Saturday's season finale.
  • Tom Cleverley could make two changes to the side that beat Sunderland with Ryan Andrews and Matheus Martins returning to the starting XI.
  • Giorgi Chakvetadze and Jeremy Ngakia have both been ruled out of the trip to the Riverside Stadium, while midfielder Tom Dele-Bashiru is a doubt.

Prediction

  • Middlesbrough aren't taking their feet off the gas at the end of the 2023/24 season and the Teessiders demonstrated their credentials as potential top-six challengers next year by hammering Cardiff 4-1 in Wales last time out.
  • Michael Carrick's men have lost just one of their last 11 Championship matches ahead of the visit of Watford on Saturday.
  • Tom Cleverley received the ultimate reward for steadying the ship following the departure of Valerien Ismael when he was named as head coach on a full-time contract for the 2024/25 campaign.
  • The Hornets won 1-0 against Sunderland in their last league outing with academy graduate Ryan Andrews scoring the only goal of the game.
