Predicted Middlesbrough team for Luton Town with Neto Borges and Hayden Hackney decisions made

Middlesbrough will be looking for back-to-back league wins for just the second time this season when they host Luton Town at the Riverside on Saturday.

Hoping to build on Tuesday evening's 4-1 victory over QPR, the choices Michael Carrick makes with team selection will be particularly interesting. The first choice he seems likely to have to make will be who plays at left-back, with Neto Borges a doubt due to illness.

The Boro boss will also be able to call upon Hayden Hackney again after the midfielder missed QPR through suspension. He is still walking a disciplinary tightrope though, with the midfielder now on four yellow cards and one away from another suspension. Here's our predicted Boro team.

GK - Seny Dieng - Deservedly voted man of the match on Tuesday evening after some crucial saves, it can hopefully prove a vital moment in the goalkeeper's season after recent question marks. He certainly proved why he's still deserved of his number one spot.

DR - Anfernee Dijksteel - This one probably gives away the Neto Borges decision. Having Dijskteel playing so well of late is a real bonus for Carrick this season and gives him an easy option to fill the left-back role, with Borges highly unlikely to feature.

DC - George Edmundson - Luton are likely to bombard the Boro box and look to physically bully Boro. Edmundson usually stands up to that kind of test well so should be ideally suited to Saturday's game.

DC - Matt Clarke - Similar to Edmundson, Clarke is usually so good at defending his penalty area from balls into the box, and he proved that point again on Tuesday. His passing was sloppy at times in that game though, and will need to be sharper in this one.

DL - Luke Ayling - Our prediction is that, having come off due to being ill on Tuesday, Borges will be unable to play on Saturday. Ayling switched over to the left when Borges went off, and with Luton's physicality making it not ideal for George McCormick, moving Ayling over again seems the most likely choice.

CM - Aidan Morris - The USA international continues to shine in a Boro shirt. There have been some concerns of fatigue at the end of three-game weeks and it therefore might be wise to think about the ideal time to bring him off in this one. It feels unlikely he doesn't start though.

CM- Hayden Hackney - It's perhaps on Jonny Howson, who didn't do anything wrong in his first start of the season at QPR. Boro did miss Hackney's forward drive though, while Howson has played 146 minutes across the last two games, having only just returned from injury.

RW - Ben Doak - Superb again on Tuesday evening as he made his return after missing last weekend's defeat. The Liverpool loanee frightens defences and makes Boro a better team. With Luton having their own left-back worries ahead of the game, it could be something for Doak to exploit.

AM - Finn Azaz - Azaz's goal involvements have really picked up in recent weeks. As well as another excellent assist at QPR, you could see the Ireland international looking as confident as he ever has in a Boro shirt and he deserves to keep his place, despite how hard Emmanuel Latte Lath is currently pushing.

LW - Riley McGree - The Aussie star continues to shine for Boro and prove his importance. With a goal and an assist at QPR, he deserves to start against Luton, which will be the first time this season he starts all three games in a three-game week - a big step for McGree after recent injury frustration.

ST - Tommy Conway - Three goals in four starts as a central striker for Boro of late, Conway is leading the line so well and deserves his place in the team. Latte Lath is pushing hard to get back in, but after four goals at QPR, and a clinical attacking display in general, it's hard to make a case for any changes to attacking quartet in this one. Conway's pressing could be vital against a Luton side who will want to go direct.
