Port Vale vs Middlesbrough: preview
Through a mixture of big teams resting first-teamers or giving youngsters a go, the Carabao Cup tends to throw up some random teams that go deep in the competition and the quarter-final clash between Port Vale and Middlesbrough is no different. In lower midtable in League One and the Championship respectively, neither side is enjoying a stellar season but a crack at a Premier League side in a marquee cup semi-final is on the line in a fascinating contest.
If last season was supposed to be one of consolation for Port Vale after promotion from the fourth tier in 2021/22, then hopes were high for improvement on last term's 18th-placed finish in League One. Yet after winning five of their first seven league games, Vale went more than two months without a League One win from mid-September to dampen expectations. In the Carabao Cup, though, Andy Crosby's side has shone, albeit with the help of a kind draw. Since beating fellow League One club Fleetwood in the first round, they've beaten three teams (Crewe Alexandra, Sutton and Mansfield) from the division below and are now 90 minutes from a plum semi-final. This is already the furthest Vale have come in this competition, could top scorer Ben Garrity's goals take them into dreamland?
Under former Manchester United and England midfielder Michael Carrick, Middlesbrough has been playing some attractive football in the past couple of season and a run of six straight Championship wins from mid-September raised Teesside hopes of a play-off tilt back to the Premier League after 14 seasons away. Though form has dipped since, not helped by three defeats in a row to begin December, Carabao Cup form has remain. Though three of the 2004 winners' four opponents thus far have all been from the leagues below (Bolton, Bradford and Exeter after Championship side Huddersfield in round one), Carrick and Co. has been drawn away in every game. Though far from a regular in the Championship, 21-year-old forward Morgan Rogers has three Carabao Cup goals this season (finding the net against Bolton, Bradford and Exeter) – no other player has scored more.
