Middlesbrough return to action after the international break with a Championship game against Bristol City on Saturday.

Here are all the details you need to know about this weekend’s game…


WHERE IS THE GAME TAKING PLACE?

Having signed off ahead of the international break with an excellent home win over league leaders Leicester City, Middlesbrough return to action by travelling to Ashton Gate to take on Bristol City.

Boro have a decent recent record at Ashton Gate, having lost just one of their last five matches at the home of the Robins.

Last season’s game ended in a 2-2 draw, with second-half goals from Aaron Ramsey and Matt Crooks enabling Boro to claw back a two-goal deficit to claim a point.


WHAT TIME IS KICK-OFF?

Saturday’s game kicks off at the traditional time of 3pm.


ARE TICKETS STILL AVAILABLE?

Yes – Middlesbrough were allocated 2,500 tickets for away fans, and a small number are still available for sale via Boro’s official website. The match is all ticket – with no sales available at the ground on the day.

Tickets for Boro fans are priced at £35 for adults, £31 for Over-65s and Under-25s, £27 for Under-22s, £15 for Under-19s and £10 for Under-12s.


IS THE GAME BEING TELEVISED OR STREAMED LIVE?

No –Saturday’s game has not been selected for live television broadcast in the UK. Highlights will be shown as part of the EFL Highlights programme on ITV4 at 9pm.

With the game falling in the Saturday 3pm window, there will be no domestic streaming available.

Radio coverage of Saturday’s game will be available on BBC Radio Tees.


WHAT IS MIDDLESBROUGH’S LIKELY LINE-UP?

Boro are still without Riley McGree (foot) and Marcus Forss (thigh), with Michael Carrick admitting at his press conference on Friday that the duo are still a number of weeks away from returning to action.

Darragh Lenihan will be out for even longer, with the centre-half set to miss the rest of the season after undergoing foot surgery earlier this week.

Boro’s international players have returned to the fold without any problems, so Carrick does not have any new issues to contend with ahead of the trip to Bristol.

Rav van den Berg is expected to remain in the side at right-back, with Jonny Howson and Hayden Hackney expected to form the central-midfield partnership, meaning Dan Barlaser will be on the bench.

Middlesbrough (probable, 4-2-3-1): Dieng; van den Berg, Fry, McNair, Engel; Howson, Hackney; Jones, Crooks, Greenwood; Coburn.


HOW ARE BRISTOL CITY SHAPING UP?

Bristol City head into the weekend sitting in 11th place in the Championship table, one place and two points below Boro.

They changed their manager at the end of last month, dismissing long-time servant Nigel Pearson and appointing Liam Manning, who was previously boss of MK Dons and Oxford United.

Rob Atkinson remains unavailable having suffered a setback after returning from an ACL injury with a 45-minute Under-21s run-out against Sunderland earlier this month.

However, Joe Williams is back in training after recovering from a hamstring injury and is in contention for a place in the squad this weekend.

Bristol City (probable, 4-2-3-1): O’Leary; Tanner, Vyner, Dickie, Pring; James, Knight; Sykes, Weimann, Bell; Conway.
