Middlesbrough will be keen to get back to winning ways on Saturday when they travel to bottom-placed Peterborough United in the Championship.

Boro missed out on the chance to top the table last Friday when they were twice pegged back in a 3-2 defeat at Birmingham City.

The Posh, who are without a win in seven games, could move to within a point of safety with a rare victory at London Road.

Michael Bostwick is available for the hosts following suspension, while Tommy Rowe could start after his absence through injury.

Meanwhile, George Friend is expected to be included in Middlesbrough's matchday squad.
