Middlesbrough are unbeaten so far this season.

Middlesbrough’s start to this season has been phenomenal as Tony Pulis aims to take the former Premier League regulars back to the top-flight.

The Boro have faced two tough tests against West Bromwich Albion and Leeds United in their past two games and Pulis will be happy with the four points his side have picked up.

This Saturday Middlesbrough travel to Carrow Road to face Norwich City in a game the Boro faithful will anticipate their side could come out victorious in.

The side sat joint-top of the Championship will welcome back star man Martin Braithwaite from his international duty with Denmark and the striker is likely to come straight back into the side to partner Britt Assombalonga.

Loan signing Muhamed Besic was excellent in Boro’s last outing against fellow table toppers Leeds and the midfielder should also feature.

Championship veteran Jonny Howson has been the unsung hero in Middlesbrough’s good start, whilst midfielder partner Adam Clayton has looked tired after featuring in every game this term.

The tie against Norwich isn’t one that Pulis will take lightly this weekend, with Daniel Farke’s side set to look to frustrate the travellers when they clash.

Middlesbrough haven’t beaten Norwich in four meetings, but will have to win on Saturday if they hope to keep pace with Marcelo Bielsa’s Leeds.
