![]() ![]() ![]() Looking to compare the best-rated player on both teams? SofaScore's rating system assigns each player a specific rating based on numerous data factors. Currently, Middlesbrough rank 12th, while Preston North End hold 17th position. Middlesbrough played against Preston North End in 1 matches this season. Technically the referee has the power to dock a player a frame for this, but that is not the advice currently given and in practice would be very unlikely to happen.Middlesbrough is going head to head with Preston North End starting on at 19:45 UTC at Riverside stadium, Middlesbrough city, England.

Murphy himself protested he only asked where Maguire was. The fact that he did has caused him a lot of damage to his reputation, because other players were always going to see that as an unsportsmanlike attempt to ‘steal’ a frame.
