Exeter City vs Middlesbrough LIVE Carabao Cup last-16 action at St James Park Live updates as Middlesbrough take on Exeter City in the Carabao Cup fourth round Updated St James Park, the home of Exeter City (Image: Geoff Caddick/REX/Shutterstock) Middlesbrough are looking to book their place in the quarter finals of this season's Carabao Cup when they take on Exeter City at St James' Park this evening. Looking to get back to winning ways after Saturday's defeat to Stoke City, Michael Carrick will be looking to balance his side amidst a bit of an injury crisis through the squad. To reach this stage, Boro have beaten Huddersfield, Bolton and Bradford and face lower-league opposition again this time. But, having beaten Luton Town this year, Carrick knows Boro can't afford to take the game lightly. Can Boro make it to the last eight of the competition that they won 20 seasons ago? We'll have live updates of the game from Devon throughout the evening. 18:32 The opposition boss said: If we do win then we are creating history - and that's something that should be really exciting for the players. They should be really looking forward to it and go and give it absolutely everything. “There is an opportunity in front of us to create history. We have earned the right to be in this round to try and create history and it is a big moment to achieve something that has never been done before. "We said at the time Luton were a really difficult team, and a Premier League team. I think if anything Middlesbrough are probably better as a squad. Although they're in the Championship I think man-for-man, looking at their squad, I think they're better [than Luton]. "They've hit a good patch of form in terms of their season, albeit they lost on Saturday, but they had a slow start and have really picked up recently and are potentially a Premier League next season "It's another extremely difficult game. It's another game where we are huge underdogs, but we showed the last time with a full house, with a really passionate support behind us that we can achieve great things, so hopefully Tuesday night's another special night at St James Park and we believe we can go and make history.” Share
