Middlesbrough, Recent FormHaving taken all 3 points, with a crucial 2-1 away win over Norwich City in their last league game, Middlesbrough will undoubtedly be very satisfied with their work. They achieved 47% possession in that match and had 19 strikes at goal, with 8 hitting the target, up against Norwich City's tally of 13 efforts at goal, 2 of which were on target.
With 14 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, their manager Michael Carrick will be very pleased with his team's form going forward, but he will be casting a cautious eye over his defence, who have shipped 4 goals in the same period. They have only kept 2 clean sheets in their last 6 home games.
They are showing impressive league form with a run of 6 straight wins in a row and are also unbeaten in their last 7 games.
Riley McGree will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 3 goals in the last 6 league games for Middlesbrough.
Stoke City, Recent FormWith a 1-0 home win last time out against Leeds United, Stoke City will be looking forward to this one, and there will undoubtedly be a mood of confidence among their squad. In that game they had 48% possession and managed 12 attempts on goal, with 4 on target, compared to Leeds United who had 16 attempts and 3 on target.
They have circumvented their opponent's defence to score 7 times in their last 6 league games but unfortunately haven't managed to lock things down at their end, conceding 9 goals in these games and, in the process, missing out on some valuable points. So far this season they have conceded a goal at least once in 11 of their 13 games.
They've had a bad run of form away from home recently, having lost 4 of their last 6 on the road and managing just 1 win.
Last time they met both teams got on the scoresheet, but the match ended in a 1-1 draw.
Middlesboro have scored in each of their last 7 games at home in the league against The Potters.
It has been a share of the points the last 2 times these sides have met in the league, with the game ending in a draw on both occasions; that said, Middlesboro may be feeling slightly more positive, having built up a run of 5 matches undefeated against their opponents.
There is only really one injury concern for the Middlesboro manager Michael Carrick ahead of this clash, with Lewis O'Brien (Ankle) missing out, which gives Carrick a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
Alex Neil has a number of injury concerns in his Stoke squad to contend with: Lewis Baker (Knee surgery), Tyrese Campbell (Hamstring), Emre Tezgel (Unknown) and Ben Wilmot (Knee)
