Team News

Plymouth
Middlesbrough
  • Expect at least two changes from Wayne Rooney on Saturday with Adam Forshaw and Andre Gray pushing for recalls.
  • Morgan Whittaker and Joe Edwards are among four confirmed absentees for the home side heading into gameweek 22.
  • Right-back Luke Ayling has been ruled out with a knee injury, but fellow full-back Lukas Engel is back fit for the visitors.
  • Ayling's absence will clear the path for Anfernee Dijksteel to return to the starting XI.

Prediction

  • Plymouth had no answer to Sheffield United at Bramall Lane as Wayne Rooney's men suffered their ninth away league defeat of the season in Yorkshire. The Pilgrims are winless in six Championship matches with four straight league defeats to their name. Only one point is keeping them off the bottom of the table as things stand.
  • Emmanuel Latte Lath's 10th-minute goal was all that Middlesbrough needed to claim all three points against Millwall last Saturday as the Teessiders returned to winning ways. Michael Carrick's side have lost just one of their last five away league matches as they prepare to visit Home Park.

    ‘Potential banana skin’ ? Or Rooney will be sacked. Plymouth have only home venue to rely on. Boro do not thrive away from home.
