Middlesbrough return to action when they take on West Brom in the Championship on Saturday.

Here are all the details you need to know about the game…


WHERE IS THE GAME TAKING PLACE?

Boro head off on their travels this weekend, with Saturday’s game against the Baggies taking place at the Hawthorns.

The game is the reverse of the opening fixture of the season, which saw Isaiah Jones score as Boro were held to a 1-1 draw under Chris Wilder at the Riverside.

Boro are unbeaten in their last four visits to the Hawthorns, a sequence that is comprised of two wins and two draws. Last season’s game ended in a 1-1 draw, with Josh Coburn scoring Boro’s goal in a match that proved to be the club’s last under the stewardship of Neil Warnock.


WHAT TIME IS KICK-OFF?

Saturday’s game kicks off at 3pm.


ARE TICKETS STILL AVAILABLE?

No – Middlesbrough have sold out their full allocation of away tickets for Saturday’s game.

Boro were allocated 2,000 tickets for the match, and all have now been snapped up.


IS THE GAME BEING TELEVISED OR STREAMED LIVE?

No, Saturday’s game is not being televised live. Highlights will be aired as part of the EFL Highlights Show on ITV4 at 9pm on Saturday evening.

With the game falling in the Saturday 3pm slot, there will be no domestic streaming of the game.

Radio commentary will be available on BBC Tees.


WHAT IS MIDDLESBROUGH’S LIKELY LINE-UP?

Michael Carrick made changes to his starting line-up for the first time in quite a while as Boro beat QPR last weekend, so having had no midweek game, it will be interesting to see if the former Boro boss reverts to his more usual line-up against West Brom.

Carrick will have to choose between Dael Fry and Paddy McNair at centre-half, while Dan Barlaser will be hoping to retain a starting spot in midfield after making his first Boro start against QPR.

Darnell Fisher has been stepping up his recovery after a long-term lay-off, but the defender is not expected to be part of the squad at the Hawthorns.

Middlesbrough (probable, 4-2-3-1): Steffen; Smith, Fry, Lenihan, Giles; Howson, Hackney; Forss, Akpom, McGree; Archer.


HOW ARE WEST BROM SHAPING UP?

West Brom currently sit in tenth position in the Championship table, five points adrift of the play-off positions.

Carlos Corberan’s side have been going through something of a sticky patch, with Monday’s 3-2 defeat at Watford meaning they have won just one of their last six matches in all competitions.

Corberan made a number of tactical tweaks for the Watford game, fielding John Swift and Jed Wallace in unfamiliar positions, but the Baggies boss has admitted the changes did not really work and is unlikely to repeat the experiment against Boro.

Winger Rayhaan Tulloch will not be part of the West Brom squad as he joined Irish side Dundalk on loan earlier this week.

West Brom (probable, 4-5-1): Griffiths; Furlong, O’Shea, Pieters, Townsend; Albrighton, Chalobah, Swift, Yokuslu, Wallace; Thomas-Asante.
