Paul Ince has made three changes from the team that beat Blackpool for the trip to Middlesbrough.

Dean Bouzanis replaces Joe Lumley, who is unavailable to play against his parent club.

Captain Andy Yiadom returns from suspension to lead the team against Michael Carrick's in-form Boro and Shane Long comes back in from the start in place of the injured Junior Hoilett.

Looking likely to be a back four, it would appear to be a move away from the often used back five setup.

Tom Holmes and Lucas Joao, both missing for the last four weeks, return to the bench to add firepower.

Femi Azeez, Femi Azeez, Coniah Boyce-Clarke, Scott Dann and Nesta Guinness-Walker make up the substitutions.

Bouzanis; Yiadom; Sarr; Mbengue; McIntyre; Casadei; Hendrick; Ince; Meite; Carroll; Long
