Middlesbrough team news

Defender Alfie Jones is suspended for Saturday's match at the Riverside due to the straight red card in the Leicester draw.

Consequently, manager Rob Edwards will need to identify a new center-back partner for Luke Ayling. This decision is further complicated by Dael Fry's current absence due to a muscle injury.

Birmingham City team news

Ethan Laird is currently unavailable due to a hamstring strain, so Tomoki Iwata will continue to play in the right-back position.

The likes of Marvin Ducksch, Demarai Gray and Patrick Roberts should be involved in the final third once again, with Paik Seung-ho and Tommy Doyle in the engine room.
