Middlesbrough host Liverpool after last weekend, having lost ground in Southampton (0-1), in a poorly played overall, and decided by a solo goal of Boufal at the start of the second part. Those commanded by Mourinho’s former assistant win only one victory in the last five games and lost 4 of the last five at home. They are now 16º, with 15 points, thanks to 3 wins, 6 draws and 6 losses, three points above the downhill. They score 13 goals scored and 16 received and are the worst attack of the competition and by far the best defense of the second half of the table. Negredo and Stuani, both sum up 3 goals and are the team’s top scorers. Precisely the international striker for Spain may be one of the news in the eleven, after losing the last match due to injury. Traoré and Downing may also appear in the starting line-up, while Friend, Ramirez and Husband are injured.
Once Probable: Valdés – Barragan, Chambers, Gibson, Fabio – Traore, Roon, Clayton, Forshaw, Downing – Negredo.
