    Middlesbrough v Rotherham (19:45 BST)

    Middlesbrough start this match in the Championship relegation zone.

    Chris Wilder's men were one of the pre-season favourites for promotion but, albeit having currently played one game less, they are 11 points behind second-placed Norwich.

    However, victory tonight could lift them as high as 14th, three points off the top six in a very tight Championship table.

    Rotherham have made a strong start to their latest foray into the second tier after bouncing straight back up from League One last season

    Paul Warne's men will go fifth if they win tonight.

  6. Team Newspublished at 19:33 British Summer Time 17 September 2022

    Middlesbrough boss Chris Wilder makes three alterations from the side that started the 3-2 home defeat by Cardiff in midweek, with goalkeeper Zack Steffen, defender Anfernee Dijksteel and forward Duncan Watmore all coming back in.

    Rotherham are forced into a change as defender Grant Hall is on loan from Boro and is therefore ineligible. Cameron Humphreys takes his spot.
