Team News

Blackburn
Coventry
  • Aynsley Pears should retain his place between the sticks here, despite conceding a comical goal last Sunday.
  • Yasin Ayari was fit enough to feature against Sheffield Wednesday, but the home side still have four confirmed absentees for this game.
  • Mark Robins rotated heavily on Wednesday night, so expect the likes of Bobby Thomas, Milan van Ewijk and Callum O'Hare to return to the starting XI.
  • Centre-back Luis Binks suffered an injury during the defeat to Hull and is set to miss the trip to Ewood Park.

Prediction

  • Blackburn were left shell-shocked against relegation rivals Sheffield Wednesday last time out as two goals in the space of six second-half minutes cost them all three points on home soil. With just one win in their last four league games and two difficult fixtures remaining, Rovers will likely be relying on results elsewhere to stay up.
  • A heavily rotated Coventry side followed up their heartbreaking FA Cup semi-final penalty shoot-out defeat to Manchester United by losing to playoff rivals Hull on Wednesday night. That result ended the Sky Blues' hopes of a late run into the top six and means they travel to Ewood Park with nothing but pride to play for.
