Norwich, who finished 13th in the Championship last season after being relegated from the Premier League in 2021-22, will be aiming to improve their position and compete for promotion this season. However, David Wagner's team has struggled to find consistency, with five wins, two draws, and five losses in their 12 matches, placing them 10th in the table with 17 points. Despite being only two points away from the top six, they are just four points ahead of 20th placed Stoke City, showing how quickly fortunes can change in this league. In their last three matches, Norwich has only managed to earn one point, suffering a disappointing 3-2 home defeat against Leeds United on Saturday. Additionally, they have not been successful in their previous three encounters against Middlesbrough, including a 5-1 loss at the Riverside Stadium in April.
Norwich City Predicted Lineup
Long; Stacey, Duffy, Gibson, Giannoulis; Rowe, Sara, McLean, Springett; Gibbs, Idah
Middlesbrough form
Boro got off to a bad start this season, only managing to gather two points from their first seven matches. However, they have been performing exceptionally well in recent weeks, securing five consecutive victories in the second division. These wins against Southampton, Watford, Cardiff City, Sunderland, and Birmingham City have propelled them to 13th place in the standings, just two points behind the playoffs, which is the club's primary goal this season. The team reached the playoffs in the 2022-23 Championship but were defeated by Coventry City in the semi-finals. Currently in their seventh consecutive season at this level, Boro last participated in the Premier League in the 2016-17 campaign, finishing 19th. Carrick's squad is currently in an impressive streak, having won six matches in a row in all competitions, including a victory against Bradford City in the EFL Cup last month.
Middlesbrough Predicted Lineup
Dieng; Smith, Fry, McNair, Engel; Barlaser, Hackney; Jones, Crooks, Rogers; Coburn
