Our Boro writer Joe Nicholson has picked the starting XI he would choose to face the Swans, with one change following Tuesday’s 1-1 draw at Nottingham Forest. Scroll down and flick through our picture gallery to see if you agree with his selections:

10. CAM: Marcus Tavernier

11. ST: Ashley Fletcher
Strike partner Britt Assombalonga could feature but Woodgate may want to give his top scorer more time to fully recover. That would mean Fletcher has to lead the line on his own again. Photo: Jan Kruger
