Middlesbrough make one change for visit of Leicester

MIDDLESBROUGH boss Gareth Southgate has made one change to his starting line-up for this evening's home game with Leicester City. With Justin Hoyte having sustained ankle ligament damage in last weekend's 2-2 draw with Coventry, Tony McMahon returns to the starting side at right-back. Boro are otherwise unchanged, with Joe Bennett continuing at left-back ahead of Jonathan Grounds and Jeremie Aliadiere partnering Marvin Emnes in attack. Didier Digard is named among the substitutes after easing his way back to fitness via a couple of appearances for the reserves. Leicester lost at home for the first visit in more than a year at the weekend, but former Boro defender Nigel Pearson is able to boast Matty Fryatt, currently the joint top scorer in the Championship, in his starting XI. MIDDLESBROUGH (4-4-2): Jones; McMahon, St Ledger, Wheater, Bennett; O'Neil, Williams, Arca, Johnson; Aliadiere, Emnes. Subs: Coyne (gk), Yeates, Digard, Lita, Grounds, Hines, Franks. LEICESTER (4-3-3): Weale; Hobbs, Morrison, Brown, Berner; King, Oakley, Dyer; Fryatt, Kermorgant, Gallagher. Subs: Logan (gk), Neilson, McGivern, Howard, Adams, N'Guessan, Waghorn.
