Boro v Arsenal FC Preview

Justin Hoyte will be facing his former club as Middlesbrough FC take on Arsenal at The Riverside Stadium, in the early kick off on Saturday.

The 12:45 kick off is live on Sky Sports, as Boro look to bounce back from a disapointing 2-1 defeat to Hull City.

David Wheater is serving a one game suspension after his red card against Hull City last Saturday.

Robert Huth is to be given a late fitness test ahead of the clash as a replacement for David Wheater. Matthew Bates and Seb Hines are also in the running to replace Wheater in central defence.
