Middlesbrough remain unbeaten in the 2018/19 season as they go into the game against West Bromwich Albion.
Tony Pulis’ unbeaten Middlesbrough side face their toughest game of the season Friday evening as West Bromwich Albion travel to Teeside.
The Boro sit in second in the Championship table and with several injured players on the brink of return, Pulis’ men could be in for a title winning season.
However, to continue their unbeaten form, Middlesbrough must first overcome Darren Moore’s West Brom and Pulis has an important team selection to consider.
The former West Brom manager has returning players in new signing Jordan Hugill and Rudy Gestede to bolster his attacking options.
Key to the Boro’s early season success has been their defensive trio of Aden Flint, George Friend and Dael Fry, who have all looked solid so far this term.
Danish International Martin Braithwaite has been spearheading the former Premier League sides’ attacks so far this season, with three goals in 356 minutes of second-tier football.
Pulis has fielded a 3-5-2 formation in the league this season and is likely to continue that in a crucial game between two promotion candidates on Friday.
Below is how we think Middlesbrough will line-up against West Brom, with Tony Pulis naming an unchanged XI.
