Middlesbrough will face Swansea at the Riverside Stadium this Saturday in a 12:30 PM kick-off. It will be Boro’s first competitive game since the season was suspended back in March.

Manager Jonathan Woodgate will be without Daniel Ayala after it was confirmed that he will not be signing a short-term extension to see out the season with the Teessiders.

However, six other players: Adam Clayton, George Friend, Rudy Gestede, Jonny Howson, Marvin Johnson and Ryan Shotton, whose contracts are also expiring, will be selected.

Middlesbrough’s Predicted Line Up To Face Swansea:

Stojanovic, Howson, Fry, Moukoudi, Coulson, McNair, Clayton, Wing, Tavernier, Gestede, Johnson

Swansea boss Steve Cooper will be able to welcome back Andre Ayew, Mike van der Hoorn and George Byers who were all injured before the lockdown.

Swansea’s Predicted Line Up:

Woodman, Naughton, van der Hoorn, Rodon, Bidwell, Fulton, Gallagher, Grimes, Kalulu, Brewster, Ayew
