    Team News

    Middlesbrough winger Albert Adomah could return to the side after missing the Rotherham game through illness.

    Defenders Jonathan Woodgate (thigh), Rhys Williams (Achilles) and Damia Abella (knee) and midfielder Muzzy Carayol (knee) all remain sidelined.

    Norwich striker Cameron Jerome is fit after suffering a cut to the knee in Friday's win over Bolton.

    Midfielder Gary O'Neil impressed on his first league start for City and will hope to keep his place.

    Head-to-head

    • The last meeting ended as a 1-1 draw at the Riverside Stadium in the Championship in January 2011.

    • Norwich have won only one of the past 10 meetings in all competitions. Their only win since 1988 was 1-0 at Carrow Road in the Championship in October 2010.

    • Middlesbrough are unbeaten in the past five meetings at the Riverside Stadium in all competitions, winning three. Norwich's most recent win there was 3-2 in the old Division One in September 1988.

    Middlesbrough

    • Middlesbrough have lost only one of their past 10 games in the Championship. Their only league defeat since August was 2-0 at Wolves on 21 October.

    • Boro are unbeaten in their past four home games, winning two. Their most recent defeat at the Riverside Stadium was 1-0 against Reading on 30 August.

    Norwich

    • Norwich won 2-1 against Bolton at home on Friday - their first win in six games.

    • They have won only one of their past four away games in all competitions. Their only win on the road since mid-September was 3-1 at Blackpool in the league on 27 September.

    Big game tonight, Middlesbrough being the home side will want to set down a marker and win this one. Hopefully that might help us, giving our forwards the space they need, rather than the stifling 11 man defensive tactics a number of teams have employed recently at Carrow road.

    COYY

    Bah!

    If we don't get a result it'll have to be back to a halfarsed effort at the eleventh hour ala vs Bolton. With the Leeds thread I am currently 4/6 so hears hoping I'm more KIO than 23!

    Bah!

    O/T I see Brendan Rodgers has waived the white flag tonight and admitted defeat before a ball is kicked with that team selection.

    Our defending really is appalling at times. I dread to think how badly we'd be beaten if we were still in the Premier League and defended like we have done the last few games.

    Edit: 'appalling' is an understatement.
