PREM: Middlesbrough v West Brom preview


Middlesbrough v West Brom preview

Middlesbrough will be without midfielder Gaston Ramirez for their home game against West Brom.


The Uruguay international had been expected to shake off a knee problem, but will play no part for Aitor Karanka's side.

Boro have slipped of late, winning just one of their last eight league games, and sit just four points above the drop zone in 16th.
 
West Brom, meanwhile, are up in eighth after winning three of their last four, but defender Johnny Evans is likely to remain sidelined for the trip to the north-east.
 
George Friend also misses out for Middlesbrough due to a back problem sustained in Saturday's FA Cup win against Accrington, but Daniel Ayala is available after a three-game ban and fellow defender Antonio Barragan (hamstring) is back in contention.
 
West Brom centre-half Evans hobbled off with a calf injury against Hull on January 2 which forced him to miss the last three matches and Baggies boss Tony Pulis is pessimistic about his chances of being fit for Tuesday night.

Pulis revealed he will also be without on-loan Everton defender Brendan Galloway at the Riverside while recent signing Jake Livermore is expected to be on the bench once more as he awaits his full debut.
