Andre Gray v Dani Ayala
Newly crowned Player-of-the-Year Andre Gray will relish the opportunity of scoring against Burnley’s closest rivals on Tuesday night, and who would bet against him scoring?
He came with a big price tag but has found the net on 22 occasions in 37 games for Burnley. He won’t expect to win many headers against the big Spaniard Ayala, but his trickery and poacher’s instinct will cause Ayala problems. Gray will look to personally exact a bit of revenge from his unsuccessful play-off bid with Brentford against Boro last season.
Dani Ayala has returned from injury in the last few games and was a huge loss when he was out. He is your typical old-fashioned defender who loves to defend and is a natural leader. He is also part of a remarkable, record-breaking Boro defence who have conceded the fewest goals of all the teams in the division.
