Boro have secured their top six finish and look likely to face Aston Villa in a two-legged play-off semi final.

Only Derby could overtake them now which might mean a date with Fulham, but neither game offers an easy route for Tony Pulis' side.

They've lost to both sides this season, failing to win any of the four clashes against the two sides.

Still, Pulis will hope that by guiding his side to four wins in the last five matches, he's now finding the right method to ensure success.

Wherever he finds the side next season, there's likely to be changes in the summer as he reshapes Garry Monk's side into something more akin to his own creation.

There's also several high-profile players likely to be on the move as his revolution firmly takes hold.

FLW look at two players likely to leave this summer, as well as two that may appear before the big kick off in august.

Ben Gibson has been earning rave reviews recently and he's of an age where it might be worth looking for a to-flight side to continue his career with.

Boro is in his soul, he's the chairman's nephew and a long-time servant, but if he wants to progress he must make a switch soon.

Ashley Fletcher hasn't achieved the heights imagined on Teeside and a move away looks likely. His loan spell at Sunderland didn't go well and with interest from other Championship clubs, Boro may want to recoup some of that £6.5m they spent on him.

With Leeds one of the sides allegedly interested, it may be they need to take a hit on the fee, but in order to facilitate wider changes they're sure to do just that.

Hutton would bring experienced and know-how and has been a rumoured target for Pulis already this campaign.

His game time at Villa is on the decrease and he may be looking for regular first team football once more. If Boro make the top flight it might make the move harder to imagine, but if they remain in the Championship then Hutton seems a likely target.

Dawson has been linked with Wolves today, but not so long ago he was also mentioned as a possible signing for Tony Pulis.

If Ben Gibson moves on it will leave a hole to fill and Pulis is likely to want players he trusts to join him at the Riverside. Dawson might not be the sort of player to get Wolves fan's pulses racing, but he would be a big coup for Boro.
