Team News

Blackburn
Stoke
  • John Fleck could make his Blackburn debut this weekend after appearing on the substitute bench against QPR.
  • Ryan Hedges, Harry Pickering and Hayden Carter are all confirmed absentees for the hosts.
  • Steven Schumacher could hand a debut to big-money January signing Million Manhoef on Saturday afternoon.
  • Dan Iversen was ineligible to face parent club Leicester last time out but should return to the starting XI here.

Prediction

  • Sam Gallagher's late goal proved to be nothing more than a consolation last weekend as Blackburn were beaten 2-1 at home by a relegation-threatened QPR side.
  • Jon Dahl Tomasson's men have picked up just two points from their last eight league outings ahead of the visit of another struggling side.
  • Stoke were no match for the attacking might of league leaders Leicester last weekend as they were hammered 5-0 on home soil by Enzo Maresca's men.
  • Saturday's visitors have now lost each of their last three Championship matches, dropping to 20th place in the process.
