Overview
- The Carabao Cup third-round tie at Selhurst Park is scheduled to kick off at 7:45pm BST on Tuesday, September 8, with Crystal Palace hosting Middlesbrough.
- Head coach Kim Hellberg has said he will 'use the squad' and make multiple changes to give minutes to returning, fringe and new players rather than prioritise the result.
- Local previews and live updates report eight changes to Middlesbrough’s matchday selection with Sam Byram, Connor Barron, Amario Cozier-Duberry and Rokas Pukstas named among likely starters.
- Crystal Palace manager Pierre Sage also signalled possible rotation for freshness and Jeremy Sarmiento is listed as a doubt for Palace’s matchday squad.
- UK viewers can watch live on Sky Sports+ with streaming via Sky Go or NOW and US viewers can tune in on CBS Sports or Paramount+ while radio coverage is available on BBC Radio Sports Extra 2.
