This season Middlesbrough have won 4, drawn 1 and lost 2 at the Riverside this season. They have beaten Chelsea, West Ham, Everton and Newcastle, drawn with Liverpool and lost to Blackburn and got battered by Portsmouth.
They face a United team that has won 6, drawn 1 but have not lost on its travels, has scored 16 goals and conceded only 4. The memory of Middlesbrough’s 4-1 victory over United last term is still yet to be erased. I expect it to be erased tomorrow evening.
We can expect Middlesbrough to be solid but United, at their best, should have too much in attack for them.
Fergie may continue to have one eye on Wednesday but I expect to see Scholes and Saha return at the very least. Vidic will need to be 100% for Fergie to throw him in, so we may see Silvestre keep his place. Heinze could come back in for Evra but it is hard to chose one over the other right now. He may decide to hold Giggs back again but I hope he doesn’t as Richardson once again failed to really convince.
Probable team: Van der Saar, Neville, Ferdinand, Vidic, Heinze, Ronaldo, Scholes, Carrick, Giggs, Rooney, Saha
Subs from: Kuszczak, Silvestre, Fletcher, Richardson, Evra
Prediction: 0-2
