Boro looking for that elusive win but claim QPR point. Injury situation improving. George Saville suspended.
Middlesbrough still struggling but at least showed dramatic improvement to draw 2-2 at QPR last time out.
Now nine matches without a victory but there is more of a mood of positivity after last time out.
Plenty of injured players returned unexpectedly for the last game including crucially captain George Friend. Boro should now be in pretty good shape.
George Saville is suspended though and Rudy Gestede, Ryan Shotton and Marcus Browne all sidelined.
Have just two wins, three draws and three defeats on home soil this term.
