Team News

Blackburn
Newcastle
  • Harry Leonard will be assessed for Blackburn but Hayden Carter, Joe Rankin-Costello and John Fleck are all absent.
  • Martin Dubravka is a doubt for Newcastle, with Loris Karius in line to continue between the sticks.
  • Sandro Tonali remains suspended, while Joelinton, Nick Pope, Matt Targett, Elliot Anderson and Callum Wilson are injured.

Prediction

  • Blackburn continue to drop down the table and a 1-1 draw with Norwich saw them fail to win their fourth successive league game. Conversely, Rovers have lost only one of their last seven at Ewood Park.
  • Newcastle's five-game unbeaten run ended in spectacular style as they fell to a 4-1 loss at Arsenal on Saturday night. That defeat ended a four-game winning run on their travels.
  • With Blackburn in disarray, Newcastle should earn their spot in the next round of the FA Cup.
