Middlesbrough v Barrow
Brad Jones is poised to replace Middlesbrough first-choice goalkeeper Ross Turnbull while Dutch winger Marvin Emnes is on the verge of making only his second start since signing from Sparta Rotterdam in the summer.
Matthew Bates’ fine comeback display at right-back against Manchester United on Monday could earn him a second start of the season while both Mido (groin) and Adam Johnson (hamstring) are doubtful.
Barrow are set to hand a debut to on-loan striker Wayne Curtis after he re-joined his hometown club on a one-month loan from Morecambe and was passed fit after a rib injury.
Joint managers Dave Bayliss and Darren Sheridan are also boosted by the news goalkeeper Alan Martin has extended his loan from Leeds and is available while Matt Henney returns from a back problem.
