Middlesbrough preview: Hitting a rough patch?

With one win in their last four games, Middlesbrough haven't done as well as they're used to this season. That being said, they had a very tough schedule since all of the games they failed to win were against teams ahead of them in the standings. Middlesbrough currently sit in seventh place in the standings, just one point behind the first team in the playoff zone.

Meanwhile, Alex Bangura, Darragh Lenihan, Aidan Morris, and Tommy Smith are currently on the team's injury list.

Predicted lineup: Dieng (GK), Dijksteel, Fry, Edmundson, Borges, Barlaser, Hackney, Doak, Azaz, Burgzorg & Conway

Millwall preview: A farewell to Neil Harris

After steering Millwall to the middle of the standings, Harris decided to step down as the team's manager and this will be his last game in charge of the Lions. While his reign has obviously been successful, Millwall are on a five-game streak without a win and they've lost twice in a row, so they'll have a tough job against Middlesbrough, who are in much better form.

Meanwhile, Josh Coburn, Daniel Kelly, Calum Scanlon, Shaun Hutchinson, and Jake Cooper are out with injuries.

Predicted lineup: Jensen (GK), Leonard, Tanganga, Wallace, Bryan, De Norre, Saville, Azeez, Honeyman, Watmore & Langstaff
