Team News

Blackburn
Cardiff
  • Jon Dahl Tomasson has a full bill of health for this fixture, but given the fixture congestion, is likely to make changes from the side that lost to Ipswich.
  • Semir Telalovic could make his first appearance for Blackburn with Tomasson likely to make plenty of changes.

Prediction

  • Two Championship sides face off for a place in the fourth round of the EFL Cup with Blackburn hosting Cardiff.

  • The Welsh side have won three on the spin in the Championship and Bulut's side have seemingly found their feet.
  • Cardiff have failed to make the fourth round since they went all the way to the final in 2011-12.
  • Blackburn have won one of their last three, a 2-1 win over Middlesbrough, and have lost their most recent two fixtures.
  • Blackburn put eight past Harrogate Town in the previous round.
