Team News

Blackburn
Burton
  • Defender Adam Henley has joined Elliott Bennett and Corry Evans on the injured list, while Shane Duffy is suspended - the defender was sent-off in the defeat by Cardiff having also scored two own goals.
  • Centre-back Elliott Ward may replace Duffy having trained following an ankle injury, with 18-year-old Scott Wharton also on standby.
  • Sam Gallagher - signed on loan from Southampton - could make his first start after replacing Anthony Stokes at Cardiff.
  • Burton may be unchanged after their 3-1 victory against Sheffield Wednesday in midweek, their first at Championship level.
  • Should he wish to make changes, Brewers boss Nigel Clough has Hamza Choudhury and Lee Williamson pushing for recalls.
  • Tom Flanagan is Clough's only injury concern, with a thigh complaint.

Prediction

  • Bottom of the table after three straight defeats, the pressure is already on Blackburn boss Owen Coyle to deliver a result.
  • Burton, though, are on the crest of a wave after earning their first-ever Championship victory by beating Sheffield Wednesday.
  • Both sides have struggled to keep the goals out this season - Blackburn have conceded nine, Burton seven - but if Coyle makes the right changes, this may be the day Rovers end their bad run.
