Mr Styles takes charge of his third Boro game this season. The first was the 1-1 draw at Arsenal when he booked five Boro players and sent off George Boateng. The second was the 2-0 home win over Charlton just last month.
So far this season he has booked 80 players and sent off 7, in 23 games. Last season he booked 148 and sent off 5, in 45 games.
He took charge of his first Premier League game in 2000 following the League One Play-off final at Wembley in the same year. The highlight of his career to date is the 2005 FA Cup Final when Arsenal beat Manchester United on penalties in Cardiff.
He will be assisted by Mo Matador (Lancashire) and Chris Sarginson (Staffordshire). The fourth official is David Foster (Tyne and Wear).
