Norwich City host Middlesbrough at Carrow Road on Tuesday (October 24) in the Championship.

Middlesbrough, meanwhile, struggled at the start of the season but have improved recently. They beat Wayne Rooney's Birmingham City 1-0 on Saturday, with Morgan Rogers coming off the bench to score a late winner.
The visitors are 13th in the standings, level on points with Norwich and will leapfrog them with a win.
