Norwich City are Saturday's visitors to the Riverside in the Sky Bet Championship.
Here is the lowdown on the visitors...
The background
Norwich have spent the last three campaigns in the Championship. Last season saw the Canaries lose out to Leeds United in the play-off semi-finals.
The visitors have collected 53 points so far this season and sit in 14th position.
The Canaries come into the game without a win in their last five league games, with their last victory coming at Carrow Road in a 1-0 win against West Brom.
The boss
After Johannes Hoff Thorup was relieved of his duties earlier in the week, Jack Wilshere has taken over as interim head coach.
Wilshere spent most of his playing career at Arsenal before retiring in 2022 at Danish club AGF.
The midfielder also picked up 34 caps for England after making his debut in 2010.
After retiring from playing, he was appointed head coach of Arsenal Under-18s before joining Thorup at Norwich in October 2024.
Key players
So far this season, Borja Sainz has played a crucial role for Norwich. The midfielder has bagged 17 goals and four assists in the Championship this season. Despite his impressive season, the winger is without a goal in his last six games.
Josh Sargent is another to keep an eye out for. In his third season at the club, the versatile forward has picked up 15 goals and five assists so far.
Young defender Callum Doyle has played a key part in the Canaries' defence this season. The 21-year-old joined Norwich on loan in the summer from Manchester City.
Young midfielder Jacob Wright has also impressed in recent weeks, picking up three assists in his last two games.
Past meetings
The reverse fixture ended in a 3-3 draw with Boro goals from Tommy Conway (2) and Finn Azaz.
Boro will be looking to continue their impressive form against the Canaries, having won four of the last five.
