What happened last time?

Duncan Watmore and Paddy McNair fired Middlesbrough to a confidence-boosting 2-0 victory at the Riverside Stadium as the hosts put the brakes on Sheffield United’s charge up the Sky Bet Championship table in September.

Watmore’s sumptuous eighth-minute opener – courtesy of excellent work down the left wing from Marc Bola – and McNair’s thumped finish to cap some clever passing in the Blades box seven minutes before the break delivered just a third win of the season for then manager Neil Warnock.

Slavisa Jokanovic, who was in charge at the Blades earlier in the season, could not steer United to an eighth game unbeaten in all competitions, with the quest for a first goal on Teesside since 2007 extended while a Blades win in Middlesbrough has now eluded the Sheffield club since October 1997.

Odds

Sheffield United 1/1. Draw 12/5. Middlesbrough 11/4.
