Middlesbrough have recorded 12 wins, as many defeats and five draws from their 29 league games this season, and their last success came away to Millwall last month thanks to one goal each from Lukas Engel, Isaiah Jones and Marcus Forss. But then, Boro went on a three games winless run in all competitions, playing out 1-1 second tier draws versus Rotherham United and Sunderland, either side of a 6-1 FA Cup defeat at Chelsea. Meanwhile Michael Carrick’s men came from behind to earn a point against the Black Cats on Saturday courtesy of Forss’ 61st-minute equaliser.
Bristol City, on the other hand, are winless in their last five outings across all competitions. Since the narrow 1-0 success over West Ham United in the FA Cup third round clash on January 16, the Robins played out three back-to-back draws with Watford, Nottingham and Coventry. Meanwhile, Liam Manning’s men started this month with a narrow 1-0 league defeat against Leeds United, before losing out to Tricky Trees in the FA Cup fourth round reverse fixture on Wednesday night. Bristol City attacker Jason Knight’s 14th-minute effort canceled out Divock Origi’s opener and took the game all the way to the penalties, where the Forest prevailed 5-3 after the Robins youngster Sam Bell failed to find the back of the net, while all the hosts’ takers beat Max O’beary.
Middlesbrough probable starting lineup: Glover, Ayling, Fry, Van den Berg, Engel, Howson, Hackney, Greenwood, Azaz, Forss, Coburn
Bristol City probable starting lineup: O’Leary, McCrorie, Vyner, Dickie, Tanner, James, Williams, Bell, Knight, Mehmeti, Conway
