After finishing one place above the relegation zone last season, West Brom have started 2026/27 in much better form and head into the third weekend of the campaign as one of just three teams with a 100 per cent record.
That will be severely tested against Boro, though, who are one of the promotion favourites and will be reeling from last Saturday's 2-1 defeat at Blackburn Rovers.

Middlesbrough vs West Bromwich Albion: Preview
Middlesbrough return to the Riverside Stadium after consecutive away trips that brought both joy and frustration.
Familiar problems resurfaced in last Saturday's 2-1 defeat at Blackburn Rovers in the Championship as Boro failed to convert several opportunities, before a 3-1 victory at League One Doncaster Rovers in the Carabao Cup saw them return to winning ways.
Will Lankshear scored in that game and the 21-year-old already has four goals following his summer move from Tottenham Hotspur, with the striker showing a finishing touch that Kim Hellberg's side lacked on several occasions last season.
Centre-back Ashley Phillips - another recruit from Spurs - made his debut at Doncaster and could feature again here, while former Leeds United defender Sam Byram has trained with the squad after signing for the club this week.

Boro's defence will be tested by James Morrison's free-scoring West Bromwich Albion, who have hit 11 goals in four games in all competitions this season.
Isaac Price has been the star of the show over the past week, with the 22-year-old Northern Ireland international following up his double in the 3-1 win over Burnley last Sunday with another two goals in the 3-2 Carabao Cup defeat at Premier League Newcastle United on Wednesday.
The Baggies have stayed in the North East over the past couple of days due to the tight turnaround between matches, with Morrison expected to make several changes to the side that started at St James' Park.
West Brom have already beaten Norwich City and Burnley, two teams tipped to challenge towards the top of the table, and another win here would further underline their promotion credentials.
FourFourTwo's prediction
Middlesbrough 1-1 West Bromwich Albion
The Baggies have shown they can mix it with the promotion contenders and could well leave the Riverside with a point.
