The hosts will be desperate to get off to a better start than they did last season, when they drew two and lost five of their opening seven games. But for their dismal start to the season, Middlesbrough would've found themselves comfortably in the play-offs.

The absence of Chuba Akpom and Cameron Archer hurt Boro last season, and while Emmanuel Latte Lath came good at the end of the campaign with 11 goals in his final 12 games to take his tally to 16 for the season, the lack of a potent goalscoring outlet was a significant hinderance, with no one else scoring more than eight.

It's hoped that the Ivorian can replicate his late-season form and the second-favourite for top goalscorer is the best-backed player in the market. Latte Lath is 7/4 to find the net on Saturday afternoon.

Swansea, meanwhile, will hope to push on after a decent end to the season under Luke Williams. The former Notts County boss got off to an underwhelming start with just four points from his opening seven games, but there were shoots of recovery in the latter stages of the campaign, picking up 10 points in their final five games, scoring 11 goals in the process.
