Premiership: McLaren to stick with winning Boro side

Middlesbrough could be unchanged against Tottenham at White Hart Lane following their 2-0 win over Sunderland.

Argentinian teenager Carlos Marinelli could continue in midfield after recovering from a touch of sciatica.

Middlesbrough hope to record their third successive clean sheet and prevent a hat-trick of wins by Tottenham over north-east teams.

Team (from): Schwarzer, Stockdale, Queudrue, Ince, Ehiogu, Southgate, Marinelli, Mustoe, Boksic, Nemeth, Greening, Johnston, Wilson, Windass, Crossley, Cooper.
