Team News

Blackburn
Burnley
  • Harry Leonard could start for Blackburn on Saturday after Yuki Ohashi suffered an injury during the first half against Leeds.
  • Todd Cantwell missed the trip to Elland Road due to illness and remains a doubt for this fixture.
  • Burnley will be without central midfielder Hannibal on Saturday after he was sent off for a stamp against Stoke on New Year's Day.
  • Scott Parker does not expect to have any of his five injured players back fit in time to face Blackburn.

Prediction

  • Centre-back Danny Batth was the unlikely Blackburn hero on Wednesday as his scrappy 91st-minute goal earned Rovers a point against league leaders Leeds.
  • John Eustace's side remain in the play-off hunt but are winless in four heading into Saturday's East Lancashire derby.
  • Fortunately for Burnley, a late Hannibal red card didn't change the outcome on New Year's Day as the Clarets closed out a goalless draw against an improving Stoke side.
  • Scott Parker's men have climbed to second in the table following a 12-game unbeaten run, and the visitors still boast the best away record in the division.
