Boro Boss Steve McClaren will keep faith with the same starting line up for the third game in a row as Derby county are the visitors' to the Riverside this Saturday.

This means the former Manchester United assistant will continue his recent 'all out attack' policy, including the trio of Carlos Marinelli, Alen Boksic and Szilard Nemeth.

Once again dean Windass will have to be content with a place on the bench. The game sees the return to Teeside for former Boro hero Fabrizio Ravenelli. The Italian is expected to receive a hot reception from the Riverside faithful after his controversial departure in 1997.

Expected starting line up: Schwarzer, Stockdale, Southgate, Ehiogu, Queudrue, Mustoe, Greening, Marinelli, Ince, Nemeth, Boksic.
