Middlesbroughwelcome Wrexhamto the Riverside Stadium on Saturday afternoon, eyeing a victory that would keep them firmly on the heels of league leaders Coventry City.
Sitting second in the Championship table, Boro continue to quietly go about their business under Rob Edwards, who’s earned plenty of plaudits for his side’s consistency. Though Coventry's unbeaten start and free-scoring form have dominated the headlines, Middlesbrough's impressive run has been just as noteworthy.
In midweek, a sixth-minute strike from Morgan Whittaker proved the difference in a 1-0 win at struggling Sheffield Wednesday, keeping Boro within touching distance of top spot. While some fans may have hoped for a more convincing scoreline against the league's bottom side, the result marked a seventh win from 11 league outings and maintained a comfortable cushion over the chasing pack.
For Wrexham, life in the Championship hasn't been quite as smooth. Despite a summer of heavy investment and sky-high expectations, Phil Parkinson's men find themselves languishing in 15th place. However, a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Oxford United on Wednesday, sealed by club-record signing Nathan Broadhead's second goal of the campaign — could be the spark they need to regain momentum.

Middlesbrough team news
Playing with 10 men for the final 23 minutes plus stoppage time, the Dragons showed grit and resilience to hang on for all three points. Parkinson will be hoping that same spirit carries into this tricky trip to Teesside.
As for Middlesbrough, the quick turnaround could prompt Edwards to shuffle his pack slightly. Creative midfielders Sverre Nypan and Aidan Morris are pushing for recalls, while forward Kaly Sene could also be handed a start after several weeks on the bench. With George Edmundson still sidelined by a hamstring issue, the backline is expected to remain unchanged.
Wrexham team news
On the other side, Wrexham will be forced into at least one alteration due to Joe Doyle's suspension, paving the way for Lewis Brunt to slot back into the defensive trio. Midfield duo Ben Sheaf and Lewis O’Brien, both rested in midweek, are in line for recalls, while Ryan Hardie could also freshen up the attack as Parkinson looks to test Boro’s solid defensive unit.
