Middlesbrough and Wolverhampton Wanderers have met many times, and in recent meetings the home side has usually come away with the win. This time, though, the picture is quite different, because both teams have climbed to the top of the table together. Middlesbrough have just thrashed the opposition 4-3 at home in the league, but their defence is still a concern. Meanwhile, Wolverhampton Wanderers won their latest match without conceding, and have lost only one league game from seven played. According to the expected line-ups, Adam James Armstrong is likely to play as the lone striker ahead of Rodrigo Martins Gomes and Fer Lopez, while Middlesbrough are likely to use Will Lankshear as the target man in a back-three system. This game is likely to be open from the start, because both teams tend to score in the first half. But the second half could differ from the first if the home side push high to pressure their opponents.
