Team News

Blackburn
Sunderland
  • Blackburn have been dealt a brutal injury blow ahead of this Boxing Day clash with Lewis Travis and Harry Pickering both facing extended spells on the sidelines.
  • Owen Beck should deputise at left-back, while Lewis Baker is the leading candidate to replace Travis in central midfield.
  • Expect just one change from Regis Le Bris on Thursday with Trai Hume replacing Luke O'Nien on the right of the back four.
  • Sunderland are missing seven first-team players heading into gameweek 23 as their injury crisis continues.

Prediction

  • Blackburn were denied a point in cruel fashion on Saturday as a stoppage-time Mihailo Ivanovic goal sent all three points to home side Millwall.
  • John Eustace's side won six straight Championship matches prior to that setback, but two major injuries represent a new challenge for Rovers to tackle as they aim to keep pace in the play-off battle.
  • Sunderland capitalised on a Jose Cordoba red card last time out, scoring just two minutes after Norwich were reduced to 10 men in a 2-1 victory at the Stadium of Light.
  • The Black Cats have taken 10 points from their last four Championship fixtures ahead of their visit to Ewood Park.
