Leeds United will face Middlesbrough at the Riverside Stadium in the Championship this evening.
Adam Forshaw has proved to be a smart acquisition for Leeds United. Signed from Middlesbrough in the January transfer window for a fee reported by BBC Sport to be worth £4.5 million, the midfielder has done well in the matches that he has played in.
With Leeds facing Boro away from home at the Riverside Stadium in the Championship this evening, it is imperative that head coach Paul Heckingbottom includes Forshaw in the starting lineup.
The 26-year-old struggled for playing time at Middlesbrough in the first half of the season and will have a point to prove to Boro this evening.
That should make him hugely motivated, and Heckingbottom should tap into this in order to give Leeds an edge against Tony Pulis’s side.
Moreover, Forshaw knows Middlesbrough and most of their players inside out, and he would be an important player on the pitch for the Whites.
Although Boro will fancy their chances of winning this evening as they are the home side, with Forshaw in the starting lineup, Leeds could well eke out a narrow win at the Riverside Stadium.
