The battle

Woody: “Stewart has arguably been the best player this season for Middlesbrough. I’ve watched four of the five games so far and he’s been in good form. Kyle Walker is a fantastic talent, quick, gets forward really well, so it’s going to be an intriguing battle.”

Running men

Woody: “Stewart can run back with Kyle and run him the other way, that’s why it will be so interesting.
