Middlesbrough currently sit ninth in the Championship, looking to bounce back from the 2–1 defeat to Watford whereas opponents Bristol City are sitting in sixteenth with three draws in a row- they have not won an away game this season so far.
Boro have not won against City since August 2021 when they secured a 2–1 win with goals coming from Uche Ikpeazu and Matt Crooks.
There will be a minute’s applause before kick-off. Players and staff from both Middlesbrough and Bristol City will wear black armbands following the passing of City boss, Liam Manning’s, son Theo John Manning.
