Smart TVs & Fire Stick: Most Android-based TVs and devices like the Amazon Fire TV Stick or Google Chromecast with Google TV have native VPN apps. Simply search for your VPN provider in the app store on your TV, log in, and connect just like you would on your phone.

Middlesbrough manager Kim Hellberg has provided no confirmed injury or suspension news ahead of the fixture, with the club's probable lineup yet to be announced. Updates are expected closer to kick-off.

Norwich City boss Philippe Clement is similarly without confirmed team news at this stage. No injuries or suspensions have been listed, and the projected XI will be made available as the match approaches.

Form

Middlesbrough head into this fixture with a record of three wins, one draw, and one loss from their last five matches across all competitions. Their most recent outing was a 3-0 Carabao Cup defeat to Crystal Palace, though that came after consecutive Championship wins over QPR, away, and West Brom at home by a score of 3-1. The draw came at Burnley, finishing 1-1. Middlesbrough scored eight goals and conceded six across those five games, with their domestic form the stronger indicator of their current level.

Norwich have won four of their last five matches, with their only defeat a 1-0 loss at Stoke City in the Championship. Clement's side beat Birmingham City 2-1 in their most recent league game and put four past Burnley in a 4-1 win at the end of August. They also won 3-1 at Sheffield United. Across the five matches, Norwich scored eleven goals and conceded four, a return that reflects a team in confident form.

Head-to-Head Record

The most recent meeting between these sides ended in a 1-0 Middlesbrough win at the Riverside Stadium in January 2026. Looking at the last five head-to-head fixtures, Middlesbrough have won three times to Norwich's one, with one draw. The most notable result in that run was a 3-3 draw at Carrow Road in October 2024.
