Our Boro writer Joe Nicholson has picked the players he would start against the Hatters in the opening game of the new EFL season. Scroll down and flick through our picture gallery to see if you agree or disagree with his selections:
5. CDM: Adam Clayton
Clayton has looked more comfortable in the anchorman role in Woodgate's preferred 4-3-3 system which requires the holding midfielder to get on the ball and dictate play. Photo: Frank Reid
6. CM: Lewis Wing
The 24-year-old showed what he's capable of last season and offers a goal threat and creativity in midfield. Photo: FRANK REID
7. CM: Paddy McNair
Following his move from Sunderland last summer, McNair struggled to nail down a first-team spot under Tony Pulis. The Northern Ireland international looks far more comfortable in central midfield, though, and needs to kick-on this campaign. Photo: FRANK REID 2019
8. LW: Marcus Browne
Following his arrival from West Ham, Browne showed glimpses of what he's capable of during Sunday's friendly against St-Etienne. Photo: Frank Reid
