Middlesbrough return to action when they take on Huddersfield Town in the Championship on Saturday.

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


WHERE IS THE GAME TAKING PLACE?

Middlesbrough’s return to action after the international break takes them to West Yorkshire to face a Neil Warnock-led Huddersfield Town side at the John Smith’s Stadium.

Boro will be hoping for a better result than in the reverse fixture at the Riverside in October, when they were held to a dour goalless draw in what proved to be Leo Percovich’s final game in temporary charge.

The John Smith’s Stadium has proved to be a relatively happy hunting ground for the Teessiders in recent years, with only one of their last six visits having resulted in a defeat. Last season’s game saw Boro run out 2-1 winners thanks to a first-half brace from Duncan Watmore.


WHAT TIME IS KICK-OFF?

Saturday’s game kicks off at 3pm.


ARE TICKETS STILL AVAILABLE?

No – Middlesbrough’s allocation of away tickets for the John Smith’s Stadium is completely sold out.

A Travel Club coach is leaving the Riverside Stadium at 11.45am ahead of the game, with coach tickets priced at £25 for adults and £20 for Under-18s.


IS THE GAME BEING TELEVISED OR STREAMED LIVE?

No, Saturday’s game is not being televised live. Highlights will be available on 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 in the UK.

Radio commentary will be available on BBC Radio Tees, and The Northern Echo’s Dominic Shaw will be at the John Smith’s Stadium providing a live blog, report, ratings, reaction and analysis on The Northern Echo’s website.


WHAT IS MIDDLESBROUGH’S LIKELY LINE-UP?

Michael Carrick will have to decide whether or not to start with the players who have been away on international duty in the last fortnight, with midfielder Riley McGree having had a particularly lengthy travelling schedule thanks to his exploits with Australia.

With Paddy McNair having been away on international duty with Northern Ireland, Dael Fry could get the nod to start alongside Darragh Lenihan at centre-half.

Carrick has also been mixing and matching his wide-attacking options in the last few weeks, with McGree, Marcus Forss and Aaron Ramsey effectively competing for two starting spots.

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


HOW ARE HUDDERSFIELD SHAPING UP?

Huddersfield head into Saturday’s game in deep relegation trouble as they are currently sitting in 22nd position in the table, three points adrift of safety.

However, with former Boro boss Warnock in charge, they were showing some welcome signs of life prior to the international break as they picked up four points from matches against Norwich City and Millwall.

The Terriers will definitely be without Yuta Nakayama, Ollie Turton and Tino Anjorin as the trio have all been ruled out for the remainder of the season.

Goalkeeper Lee Nicholls and midfielder Duane Holmes are edging towards first-team returns, although neither is expected to start against Boro.

Huddersfield (probable, 4-2-3-1): Vaclik; Pearson, Lees, Helik, Ruffels; Hogg, Edmonds-Green; Koroma, Rudoni, Jackson; Ward.
