Middlesbrough's Championship playoff final preparations have got off to a bad start, after they were delayed arriving at Wembley due to heavy London traffic.
Boro only reached the ground an hour before kickoff, thanks to the aid of a police escort, which is around 70 minutes or so after opponents Norwich City arrived.
The delay meant that the Smoggies were also late publishing their team sheet ahead of the £120m showdown, although they have been handed a huge boost by the inclusion of on-loan striker Patrick Bamford in their starting lineup.
Aitor Karanka's men have failed to win in their four previous appearances at Wembley.
