Team News

Middlesbrough
Burnley
  • Middlesbrough suffered three injuries and a red card during the game against Sheffield Wednesday, leaving Michael Carrick in a difficult position for Sunday's game.
  • With Sol Brynn unavailable and Seny Dieng still a doubt, Tom Glover could fill in between the sticks against Burnley.
  • Scott Parker could hand a start to Lyle Foster on Sunday after he returned to the bench on Boxing Day following a length injury lay-off.
  • Winger Jeremy Sarmiento has missed the last two league games and is a doubt for the trip to the Riverside Stadium.

Prediction

  • Finn Azaz scored two goals and registered an assist on Thursday as Middlesbrough raced into a 3-0 lead against Sheffield Wednesday, but the Teessiders were later reduced to 10 men and only held on for a draw.
  • Michael Carrick's men remain dangerous but have won just one of their last five Championship matches.
  • After a 10-match unbeaten streak, Sheffield United were finally beaten on home soil on Boxing Day, and Burnley were the oppressors.
  • The Clarets cruised to a 2-0 victory at Bramall Lane with their third straight league win, and they now travel to the Riverside Stadium unbeaten in 10.
