Town: Lee-Barrett, Edwards, Sonko, Smith, Cresswell, Drury, Hyam, Martin, Emmanuel-Thomas, Murphy, Chopra. Subs: McCarthy, Delaney, Leadbitter, Bullard, Scotland.

Middlesbrough: Steele, Hoyte, Hines, Williams, Bennett, McMahon, Thomson, Arca, Emnes, Jutkiewicz, Main. Subs: Ripley, Ogbeche, Halliday, Williams, Smallwood.
