MIDDLESBROUGH v CRYSTAL PALACE TEAM NEWS

Boro midfielder Gaizka Mendieta's is still not ready to return to action and misses the Carling Cup match.

Mendieta is aiming to be fully fit in time for the weekend's clash with Chelsea.

Middlesbrough manager Steve McClaren is expected to field a strong side against Palace.

Palace striker Andrew Johnson will play "a good portion of the game" and Tony Popovic is back after international duty with Australia. Julian Speroni should get another chance to impress in goal after his heroics in the previous round's victory against Liverpool.

Marco Reich and Danny Granville are both sidelines through injury.
