Middlesbrough XI vs Coventry – Predicted lineup and team news
admin_news
Middlesbrough make the trip to Coventry City tonight in a top-of-the-table Championship clash.
The top two collide at the Coventry Building Society Arena with just two points between them in the table. Boro have surged past Coventry to take top spot in the table, after a run of six consecutive league wins.
Kim Hellberg’s side have capitalised on Coventry’s slump and can put distance between them and the Sky Blues with another victory tonight.
Coventry were the season’s early leaders under Frank Lampard, but have won just two of their last eight Championship games.
A win tonight for the home side would reclaim top spot, though defeat would leave them just three points above third-placed Millwall in the battle for automatic promotion.

The Championship leaders have no new injury problems but will remain without long-term absentee Darragh Lenihan for this one.
The Irishman remains sidelined, alongside fellow defender George Edmundson. Leo Castledine, Alex Bangura and Alfie Jones are also part of the Boro treatment room.
Middlesbrough predicted lineup
Middlesbrough predicted XI: Brynn; Brittain, Ayling, Malanda, Targett; Browne, Morris, Hackney, McGree; Whittaker, Conway.
