Middlesbrough

Middlesbrough go into this game top of the table. Their defence has settled in recent weeks: Ashley Phillips and Adilson Malanda continue as the centre-back pairing, with Luke Ayling now out of the side after starting three of the last five games.

Further forward, Amario Cozier-Duberry has started all five recent matches and Riley McGree has begun four, but neither has completed a start during that spell. Kyle Joseph is not expected to start after appearing as a substitute against Bolton Wanderers.

Charlton Athletic

Charlton are expected to give Charlie Kelman, Sonny Carey and Joe Rankin-Costello another chance after each made his first start against Norwich City. All three should keep their places, although Oliver Skipp remains an alternative to Rankin-Costello in the deeper midfield role.

Kayne Ramsay is expected to start at right-back, with Dan McNamara the other candidate after starting four of the previous five matches. Collins Sichenje and Rob Apter remain out with knee injuries, while Zach Mitchell is also sidelined with a knee problem. Nathaniel Chalobah and Matty Godden are being assessed day by day and could be involved if ready.
