MIDDLESBROUGH v Manchester United: Several worries for Southgate ahead of clash with leaders

Middlesbrough manager Gareth Southgate will check on a series of minor knocksbefore naming his side to face Barclays Premier League leaders Manchester United tomorrow. Only Emanuel Pogatetz (knee) and Chris Riggott (ankle) have been ruled out of the game at the Riverside and Southgate is hopeful they will be the only absentees. French midfielder Didier Digard, who was used as a substitute in the 2-0 defeat at Arsenal last Sunday after a lengthy lay-off, will once again be in contention, although he is short of full match-fitness. Team (from): Jones,Turnbull, Hoyte, McMahon, Taylor, Grounds, Wheater, Huth, Hines,Aliadiere, Tuncay, Bates, O'Neil, Walker, Shawky, Downing, Johnson,Digard, Alves, King.
