    • On transfers: "They've settled unbelievably well. It doesn't feel like a particularly new group, it feels a nice, real balance of freshness and energy."

    • He added: "I'm really happy with the squad we've got. I think a bit of freshness helps, I think we feel strong and I'm really looking forward to the games coming up."

    • On Boro's poor run of form: "That doesn't change my thoughts on what's next and what we can do. I'm still encouraged at knowing what we can do. We've got to find that magic and I'm really confident we can do that."

    • On Sheffield United: "We know the challenge we face when we go down there but it's a fantastic challenge. It's these type of games we want to be involved in."

    Sheffield United eye a place at the top as they host play-off contenders Middlesbrough on Wednesday evening (20:00 GMT).

    The Blades could see themselves at the apex of the table should current leaders Leeds United fall to Watford on Tuesday, with just two points separating the two teams at the top.

    While a win for Middlesbrough could see them back in the play-off spots.

    • Sheffield United have won six of their last eight home league games against Middlesbrough (L2), though did lose this exact fixture 3-1 when it was last played in February 2023.

    • After winning the reverse fixture 1-0 in October, Middlesbrough will be looking to record just a second league double over Sheffield United since the 1987-88 season (also 2010-11).

    • Sheffield United lost their last midweek home game in the Championship (0-2 v Burnley in December), after having won each of the previous four without conceding a single goal.

    • Middlesbrough have lost three of their last four league games (W1), more than they had in their previous 13 combined, while they've lost each of their last two. They haven't lost three in a row since December 2023.

    • Delano Burgzorg has scored in each of his last two Championship appearances, scoring as many goals in those games (2) as he had in his previous 31 Championship games combined.
