Middlesbrough Vs Aston Villa Preview
Middlesbrough kicked-off the new year with a 3-1 home defeat against Coventry City which is hardly the ideal preparation ahead of Saturday’s FA Cup clash.
Michael Carrick’s side currently occupy 12th spot in the EFL Championship and they will need to put in an excellent shift to have any chance against Aston Villa.
Unai Emery’s side have been sensational in the Premier League so far this season and the Spaniard will more than likely be keen for a strong cup run.
Ironically, the Villans have actually been knocked out at the 3rd round stage for the past seven seasons so Emery has a golden chance to make amends.
The last meeting between these sides at the Riverside came back in 2018, where Villa ran out 3-0 winners in an EFL Championship clash.
Middlesbrough Vs Aston Villa Team News
Middlesbrough Team News
Boro’s squad has been decimated with a large number of injuries which will see them tackle Aston Villa with a weakened starting XI on Saturday. Centre-forward Josh Coburn is Boro’s most likely source of goals – and an upset – so Villa will need to be wary of him.
Middlesbrough Predcited Line-Up (4-2-3-1):
Glover; Van den Berg, Fry, Clarke, Bangura; Howson, Barlaser; Jones, Rogers, Greenwood; Coburn
Aston Villa Team News
Villa will be without the likes of Tyrone Mings, Emi Buendia, Lucas Digne and Robin Olsen whilst Matty Cash and Youri Tielemans will require late fitness tests. Boubacar Kamara returns from suspension and Calum Chambers could also be afforded a start.
Aston Villa Predicted Line-Up (4-4-2):
Martinez; Chambers, Konsa, Lenglet, Moreno; Zaniolo, McGinn, Kamara, Bailey; Duran, Watkins
