Team News

Blackburn
Southampton
  • Centre-back Kyle McFadzean should return to the bench after serving the final instalment of a three-match ban on Monday.
  • Harry Pickering will miss out after suffering an injury during the game against Sunderland, so expect Ben Chrisene to start here.
  • Right-back James Bree is suspended for the trip to Ewood Park, meaning Kyle Walker-Peters will return to the starting XI on Saturday.
  • Further changes could be expected from Russell Martin with Will Smallbone among those hoping for recalls.

Prediction

  • Blackburn ended their nine-game winless run in style on Easter Monday, scoring five goals on their visit to the Stadium of Light as they hammered a managerless Sunderland side 5-1 on their travels.
  • That result has propelled Rovers up to 17th in the standings, five points clear of 22nd-placed Huddersfield.
  • Southampton tasted defeat in brutal fashion last time out with a late James Bree red card followed by a stoppage-time winner from Ipswich's Jeremy Sarmiento, leaving the Saints on the wrong side of a five-goal thriller.
  • That result has all but ended any faint hopes of an automatic promotion bid heading into gameweek 41.
