MIDDLESBROUGH face promotion rivals Sheffield United on Wednesday night.

Here are all the details you need to know about the game…

WHERE IS THE GAME TAKING PLACE?

Boro are hoping to avoid a repeat of their last visit to Bramall Lane, when Chris Wilder's Sheffield United return turned into a nightmare.

Boro were thumped 4-1 by the Blades in March last year, with Folarin Balogun getting the goal for the visitors.

Sheffield United's home form this season is impressive, with Paul Heckingbottom's side having only lost twice.

The sides drew 2-2 when they met at the Riverside earlier this season.

WHAT TIME IS KICK-OFF?

Wednesday's game kicks off at 8pm.

ARE TICKETS STILL AVAILABLE?

No, Boro sold their full allocation of 2,715 fans tickets for the game, so no tickets will be available for away fans on the night.

IS THE GAME BEING TELEVISED OR STREAMED LIVE?

The game was selected for live Sky coverage. It will be shown on Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports football.

Because the fixture has been chosen for Sky Sports coverage, video streaming on Boro's website will not be available in the UK.

Radio commentary will be available on BBC Tees at 95FM and The Northern Echo’s Dominic Shaw will be at Bramall Lane providing a live blog, report, ratings and reaction on The Northern Echo website.

WHAT IS MIDDLESBROUGH'S LIKELY LINE-UP?

Michael Carrick will make a late call on Cameron Archer, who suffered a knock to the ankle in the midweek win over Cardiff. If Archer isn't available, Matt Crooks is likely to lead the line.

January signing Dan Barlaser is likely to again be a substitute, while it's not yet clear whether Aaron Ramsey will be ready to come into the squad.

At the back, Carrick must decide whether to bring Dael Fry back into the team. He's been on the bench since returning from his one-match ban, with Paddy McNair having partnered Darragh Lenihan.

Middlesbrough probable XI (4-2-3-1): Steffen, Smith, Fry, Lenihan, Giles; Howson, Hackney; Forss, Akpom, McGree, Archer

HOW ARE SHEFFIELD UNITED SHAPING UP?

The Blades are in fine form, having not lost in the league since November. That run has enabled Heckingbottom's side to open a 10-point gap on third place, with a game in had on Boro.

They come into this on the back of a 3-0 win over Swansea City last time out.

Billy Sharp is a major doubt for United having suffered an ankle injury against Swansea, but Oli McBurnie is available to start and Daniel Jebbison is back having served a three-match ban.

Sheffield United (probable 3-5-2): Foderingham, Ahmedhodzic, Egan, Robinson; Bogle, Berge, Norwood, McAtee, Lowe; Ndiaye, McBurnie
