Check in to Transfer Window: Done Deal Alerts
Middlesbrough were somewhat disappointing in 2012/13, falling away from the playoff chase to finish 16th in the Championship, so they will be desperate for improvement this season.
Tony Mowbray has previously done good work to guide West Brom to the top flight, and will start 2013/14 at home to another side chasing promotion in Leicester City.
They have a decent start in August, with Charlton, Blackpool and Sheffield Wednesday among their next opponents, though they will also face newly-relegated Wigan.
Provided they’re consistent, they could be boosted with a good run-in, facing beatable opposition in Millwall, Barnsley and Yeovil in their final few games.
