The Boro boss will have to make at least one change following Jonny Howson’s red card against Cardiff last time out. Our Boro writer Joe Nicholson has picked the side he would choose to face the Owls on Wednesday night – scroll down and flick through our picture gallery to see if you agree:
1. GK: Aynsley Pears
Was recalled to the side at Reading and kept his place against Cardiff. Vocal between the sticks and can be heard in an empty stadium barking out instructions to his team-mates. Photo: COPYRIGHT (C) FRANK REID 20187
2. RB: Anfernee Dijksteel
Performed well at Reading and was having a decent game against Cardiff before a costly error led to the visitors' second goal. Photo: Clive Brunskill
3. CB: Dael Fry
It's been a tough few weeks for the 22-year-old centre-back but that doesn't mean he should be written off. Fry has shown what he can do with some impressive performances at Millwall and Reading but needs to find more consistency. Photo: FRANK REID 2020
4. CB: George Friend
May be approaching the end of his Boro career with his contract set to expire at the end of the season. Has looked far more comfortable at centre-back since Warnock took charge. Photo: Getty Images
