Middlesbrough manager Tony Mowbray has made seven changes for this afternoon's FA Cup tie against Aldershot Town.

Scott McDonald is the most notable absentee for the home side as he continues to struggle with a hamstring complaint.

Justin Hoyte also begins a spell on the sidelines for the home side after suffering a hip injury.

Marvin Emnes, Stuart Parnaby and Nicky Bailey are among the players given a starting opportunity by Mowbray.

Aldershot boss Dean Holdsworth hands Danny Hylton the chance to extend his fine scoring record in the competition as he returns from suspension after being sent off in the last round.

Boro: Steele, Parnaby, Hines, Bikey, Williams, Bailey, Smallwood, Zemmama, Emnes, Jutkiewicz, Reach

Aldershot: Young, Herd, Morris, Brown, Vincenti, Bradley, Hector, Cadogan, Rose, Hylton, Reid
