Key Men: Middlesbrough will rely heavily on their defence once again as they struggle to score the goals that would turn them into real European contenders. Last year, Ugo Ehiogu's super form at the back ensured Boro' maintained their premiership status and earned him an England recall in the bargain. This year Boro's defence is looking even more solid with Ehiogu teaming up with ex-Villa and England team-mate Gareth Southgate once again.
