Middlesbrough need to secure all three points on Monday to keep their slim playoff hopes alive, as the top six are nine points away with three games remaining before the end of the season. Boro have recorded 18 wins, nine draws and 16 defeats from 43 league games this season and their last success came against Swansea City earlier this month. After that, Michael Carrick’s men played out back-to-back draws with Hull City and Ipswich. On April 13, Boro shared the spoils with the Tractor Boys despite taking the lead through Emmanuel Latte Lath’s 20th-minute opener. The result extended their unbeaten run to nine games, registering five wins in the process.
Leeds, on the other hand, are going through bit of a rough patch, having taken just one point from their last three outings. After the 3-1 win over Hull on April 1, the Whites lost out to Coventry City and Blackburn either side of a goalless draw with Sunderland. The poor run of form allowed Leicester to climb to the top of the table. Nevertheless, Daniel Farke’s side are just four points away from the leaders, with three games remaining to play. Meanwhile, Leeds have prevailed in each of their last three encounters with Middlesbrough, scoring eight goals and conceding just two in the process.
Middlesbrough probable starting lineup: Dieng, Dijksteel, Van den Berg, Clarke, Engel, O’Brien, Howson, Jones, Azaz, Silvera, Latte Lath
Leeds United probable starting lineup: Meslier, Gray, Ampadu, Rodon, Firpo, Gruev, Kamara, Gnonto, Rutter, Summerville, Piroe
