Middlesbrough vs Hull city preview

Probable line up

Back in the Premier League after a seven-year exile, Middlesbrough should showcase several of the nine new faces Aitor Karanka has imported to the Riverside this summer. Boro fans will be keen to take a first look at Víctor Valdés, Álvaro Negredo, Marten de Roon et al, while Joe Allen is set to make his Stoke debut following a £13m move from Liverpool. Given that Karanka’s side conceded only eight Championship goals at home last season Mark Hughes must trust his strikers are wearing their shooting boots. They have definitely invested huge sums of money on their squad in this debut season and a lot will be expected from the new players.

1-2

Stoke has been building a strong team since last season and they showed glimpses of what they have to offer. This match is the best way to show what they can do.
