Team News

Blackburn
WBA
  • Jon Dahl Tomasson will be without Sam Gallagher for both of Blackburn's opening two games, but Ryan Hedges will be available after picking up a knock in pre-season.
  • Thomas Kaminski and Ash Phillips are both close to moves away from Blackburn and will likely be absent on the opening day.
  • Icelandic international Arnór Sigurdsson could make his debut, while academy graduate Dilan Markanday is pushing for a start out wide.
  • Loanees Jeremy Sarmiento and Josh Maja should both make their Baggies debuts on Saturday afternoon after signing from Brighton and Bordeaux respectively.
  • Daryl Dike and Adam Reach will both be absent when West Brom travel to Ewood Park this weekend.

Prediction

  • Blackburn's summer business has been muted ahead of Jon Dahl Tomasson's second season in charge of the club with Arnór Sigurdsson and Sondre Tronstad headlining Rovers' additions. The hosts missed out on the playoffs on goal difference last season, but a similarly lofty finish will be a harder task this time around given the quality of the league.
  • West Brom's playoff charge lost steam in the final weeks of the 2022/23 season with the Baggies losing three of their final four league outings on their way to a ninth-placed finish. Carlos Corberan remains an extremely highly-rated figure in this league, but a lack of funds could stunt the Baggies' promotion hopes.
