Middlesbrough v Portsmouth : Aug 28, 2006
Coming off the back of a fairly convincing home win against League Champions Chelsea, Boro will be confident against a Portsmouth
side who drew 0-0 with Manchester City. This may not work in Middlesbrough's favour.
Middlesbrough :
Boro have a few defensive worries, as Ehiogu and Arca are both out while Matthew Bates is not 100% certain to return from
a knee injury. Their midfield is likely to feature both Morrison and Cattermole, neither of whom are very experienced players.
