Barnsley Team News:
Barnsley defender Peter Ramage is expected to be out for six to eight weeks so who partners Martin Cranie is anyone`s guess.
I expect it to be Mvoto if fit with Nyatanga having an outside chance of playing if he proves his fitness.
If both of them aren`t fit enough then Flitcroft will either bring Hassell in at centre back or revert to a back three of Wiseman, Cranie and Kennedy.
Player to watch: McCourt
Has showed flashes of his talent in his few matches so far, now I`m hoping he is fitter and able to show more.
Middlesbrough Team News:
Jonathan Woodgate and Marvin Emnes could return to the squad following injury.
Player to watch: Butterfield
We all know what he can be capable of.
