MICHAEL Carrick has named an unchanged line-up for Middlesbrough's game at Birmingham City, meaning Matt Crooks again leads the line.

Marcus Forss will again start on the right flank for Boro, with the bench also unchanged from the win at Ewood Park.

John Eustace has made three changes to his Birmingham City side, with former Boro striker Lukas Jutkiewicz coming into the side. Club captain Troy Deeney is on the bench, as is ex-Boro defender George Friend.
