SENY Dieng misses Middlesbrough's game at Oxford today through illness, with Sol Brynn coming in to make his Championship debut.

That's one of four changes, with Neto Borges. Jonny Howson and Dan Barlaser also coming into the side in place of Anfernee Dijksteel and injured midfield duo Hayden Hackney and Aidan Morris.

The front four is unchanged, with Delano Burgzorg keeping his place in the side after his brace against Luton last time out. Emmanuel Latte Lath is leading the line, with Tommy Conway on the bench alongside Riley McGree.

Ben Doak starts on the right flank, with Luke Ayling moving back to right-back.

Rav van den Berg is still missing, with George Edmundson and Matt Clarke starting at centre-half and Dael Fry on the bench.
