The Boro head coach has plenty of decisions to make following a shock 1-0 defeat to Luton last time out. Our Middlesbrough writer Joe Nicholson has picked the starting XI he would choose to face the Tykes – scroll down and flick through our picture gallery to see if you agree:
1. GK: Aynsley Pears
Has started Boro's last 16 league games but could face competition following the arrival of Dejan Stojanovic. Photo: George Wood
2. RWB: Djed Spence
Was recalled to the starting XI against Luton. Will be hoping to rediscover his best form. Photo: Justin Setterfield
3. CB: Jonny Howson
Returned to centre-back against Luton. Wasn't his best display but it's a position he's performed well in this season. Photo: Alex Livesey
4. CB: Harold Moukoudi
Has shown flashes of potential in his three Boro appearances. Still adjusting to his new side though. Photo: John Walton
