Middlesbrough v Leeds Utd Match Thread

Middlesbrough v Leeds Utd
Wednesday 26th February 2020 19.45 | The Riverside Stadium


Having worked hard to open up a five point gap between themselves and the play off' hopefuls, Leeds will be confident that they'll be able to brush aside a below par Middlesbrough.

The Smoggo's have played consecutive games against the bottom three, picking up one point from a possible nine; leaving the Teessiders three points from the drop zone. Another loss could spell the end of Jonathan Woodgate's tenure at the Riverside.

Having hobbled off during the White's victory over Reading at the weekend, Kelvin Phillips is unlikely to be risked. Gianni Alioski standsby.

With no news from the FA in regards to Casilla's racism charge, we can expect the former Real Madrid shot stopper to keep his place between the sticks. The longer it takes for the FA to come to a decision, the more difficult it will be to punish the Spaniard.

Patrick Bamford looks set to face his former club, surely the perfect opportunity to find his striking boots.

A month after signing, Jean Kevin Augustin will be wondering when Bielsa will give the French man his starting debut!
