Gills aim for back-to-back Championship scalps

Gillingham v Middlesbrough

Gillingham are in search of back-to-back Championship scalps tonight when Middlesbrough come to Priestfield in the Capital One Cup.

Tom Flanagan (suspension) is free to return for Gillingham with Danny Jackman, Danny Kedwell, and Ben Strevens all hopeful of playing a part in this tie as all did the first round win over Bristol City.

Fitness tests will be needed for Marvin Emnes (foot), Joe Bennett (knee), Mustapha Carayol (hamstring) and Kevin Thomson (calf) but Middlesbrough know that Lukas Jutkiewicz (knee) and Jonathan Woodgate (groin) will be missing through injury.

The Gills rarely make it into round three, and round four is even rarer having happened only twice! Boro have a good record against lower league opponents and were last knocked out by one in 2006, when league two Notts County managed this although a second round exit has become quite common in recent years.
