THE PREDICTION

Coached by Michael Carrick, Middlesbrough started this season slowly but were propelled themselves forward throughout autumn with the aid of an EFL Cup run and they do have the first-leg of their semi-final against Chelsea coming up on Tuesday. As they begin to flag in the Championship, another burst from some cup form would appear ideal. They face an Aston Villa side involved in a genuine title race as well as in the knockout stages of a European competition so the likelihood is that this game is not necessarily a priority for Unai Emery. As a result, backing ‘Boro seems good value here.

TIP: MIDDLESBROUGH TO WIN
