MIDDLESBROUGH return to Championship action tonight when they make the trip to Stoke City (Wednesday 17 August).

Here are all the details ahead of the game...

 

WHERE IS THE GAME TAKING PLACE?

Wednesday's game will be played at the Bet 365 Stadium, home of Stoke City.

The last time the two teams met there, it finished in a 0-0 draw with the Potters. 

 

WHEN DOES THE GAME KICK-OFF? 

The game kicks off at 7:45pm but has not been selected for television coverage. 

 

CAN I STILL GET TICKETS

Tickets are no longer on sale from the MFC website. Tickets are still available on Stoke's website with prices starting at £26 for adults, £20 for over-65's, £16 for Under-18's. 

 

CAN I STREAM THE GAME LIVE?

Video streaming passes are available on the MFC website for around £10. 

Highlights of the game will be published on the Sky Sports app and Middlesbrough's YouTube page. 

Digital Sports Writer Matty Jones will be in press box at the Bet 365 Stadium for Wednesday's game and will be providing live coverage via a blog on The Northern Echo website, as well as a post-match report, ratings and reaction.

 

HOW ARE MIDDLESBROUGH LIKELY TO LINE UP?

Chris Wilder is likely to go with a similar line-up to the one that earned a draw against Sheffield United at the weekend. 

Matt Crooks is working his way back to full fitness and will hopefully be available for the game.

Boro have no other injury concerns apart from Josh Coburn who is ruled out for the next 6-8 weeks.

Boro (probable 3-5-2): Steffen; Dijksteel, Lenihan, McNair; Jones, Howson, Crooks, McGree, Giles; Forss, Akpom
