**The Manager
Michael Carrick** After taking charge of Boro last season, former Manchester United player Michael Carrick oversaw a massive charge to the play-off spots in the second half of the campaign. This year has been more turbulent, having lost some key players in the summer. Having made last year's play-offs, Boro were considered by many to be among the favourites for promotion but are currently 12 points off Hull City in sixth. **Last Time Out** When the teams met in October, Middlesbrough claimed a 2-1 win at Carrow Road. Jonathan Rowe fired home in the 96th minute of the game for a wonderfully hit consolation goal but efforts from Sam Greenwood and Samuel Silvera had put the visitors in front. Watch the highlights below.
**Ref Watch** Robert Madley will be the referee at Riverside Stadium on Wednesday night. Blake Antrobus and Jonathan Hunt will be his assistants while Andrew Kitchen is the fourth official. **How to Follow**
