Leeds United vs Middlesbrough Match Preview

Leeds United continue their promotion push on New Year’s Day when they play host to struggling Middlesbrough. Leeds are riding an 11 game unbeaten streak and are outside of the automatic promotion spots on goal difference alone. Middlesbrough currently sit only one point above the relegation zone.

Leeds will be without defender George McCartney, who has returned to Sunderland after his loan spell ended.

Boro midfielder Barry Robson will be given a late fitness test as he is recovering from a virus. Middlesbrough will be without forward Scott McDonald for a while after this game, as he will be representing Australia at the Asian Cup.
