Middlesbrough return to action when they take on QPR in the Championship on Tuesday.
Here are all the details you need to know about the game…
WHERE IS THE GAME TAKING PLACE?
Having lost at home to Coventry City at the weekend, Middlesbrough head back out onto the road as they travel to Loftus Road to take on QPR.
Boro have a decent recent record at Loftus Road, having lost just one of their last five matches at QPR’s home stadium.
Last season’s game finished in a 2-0 away win to Boro, thanks to second-half goals from Emmanuel Latte Lath and Marcus Forss.
WHAT TIME IS KICK-OFF?
Tuesday’s game kicks off at 7.45pm.
ARE TICKETS STILL AVAILABLE?
No – the deadline for buying tickets in Boro’s away end at Loftus Road was midday on Monday, November 4.
Boro were allocated 1,710 tickets for the visitors’ section, and the game is all-ticket with no sales on the night.
IS THE GAME BEING TELEVISED OR STREAMED LIVE?
Yes, Tuesday’s game will be televised by Sky Sports and is being broadcast on the Sky Sports + channel.
As the game is being broadcast live, there will be no domestic streaming available.
Radio commentary for the match will be available on BBC Radio Tees, and The Northern Echo’s Scott Wilson will be at Loftus Road providing a live blog, report, ratings, reaction and analysis on The Northern Echo website.
WHAT IS MIDDLESBROUGH’S LIKELY LINE-UP?
Boro are without Hayden Hackney, with the midfielder serving a one-match suspension after being sent off in Saturday’s defeat to Coventry City.
With Hackney unavailable, Boro skipper Jonny Howson is set to make his first league start of the season at the heart of the Teessiders’ midfield.
Rav van den Berg has suffered a knee injury and will be sidelined for a number of weeks. However, Dael Fry is back to full fitness, and could replace Matt Clarke in order to make a first senior appearance since February.
Ben Doak missed Saturday’s home defeat at the Riverside because of a minor hamstring strain, but the Liverpool loanee is expected to return to the starting line-up against QPR.
Middlesbrough (probable, 4-2-3-1): Dieng; Ayling, Fry, Edmundson, Borges; Howson, Morris; Doak, Azaz, McGree; Conway.
HOW ARE QPR SHAPING UP?
QPR head into Tuesday’s game sitting in 23rd place in the Championship table, eight points and 12 places below Middlesbrough.
However, after a shaky start to the season, Marti Cifuentes’ side have improved in recent weeks and have drawn their last three matches against Coventry, Burnley and Sunderland.
Harrison Ashby suffered an injury in the first half of QPR’s weekend draw with Sunderland, and is expected to miss out on Tuesday. Assuming Ashby is ruled out, Hevertton Santos is expected to take his place in the starting side.
Michael Frey, Kenneth Paal and Liam Morrison are also unavailable, along with former Sunderland midfielder Jack Colback.
QPR (probable, 3-4-3): Nardi; Dunne, Cook, Field; Smyth, Varane, Morgan, Santos; Madsen, Celar, Chair.
