The field for this afternoon is in perfect condition to host one more Championship game this season:

Meanwhile, West Brom are on a five-game winless streak; the last time they did so was on January 22, exactly one month ago, when they defeated Peterborough 3-0.

Middlesbrough are in good form at home, having won their last 6 games in a row, and will be looking for a seventh to keep climbing the table and, in the process, continue to prepare for their FA Cup clash in two weeks' time.

Karlan Grant is the benchmark of the team's attack, as he accumulates 10 goals in 30 games, highlighting that one of his specialties is the aerial game where he could make the difference.

Isaiah Jones is not the team's goal scorer, but he has nine assists in 28 games in the championship, so his vision and clarity with the penultimate touch will be needed for the home team to get the win.

West Brom Aibion were not going so badly in the season, but have been stuck in a five-game winless streak with just one point from the last 15 that has left them outside the top 10 and, with a double-header, will try to climb up the standings; they lost 2-0 at home to Luton on Saturday.

Middlesbrough still has the goal of being promoted to the Premier League and their objective is not so far away, so now and more than ever, they will have to tighten the pace and make their home advantage count in order to get the victory, although they are coming from a 2-1 loss against Bristol City.

The Middlesbrough vs West Brom match will be played at the De Riverside Stadium, in Middlesbrough, England. The kick-off is scheduled at 2:45 pm ET.
