Prediction

  • Blackburn found themselves leading 2-0 inside 15 minutes against Norwich last weekend as they heaped the pressure on David Wagner in the opposition dugout.
  • In contrast, Jon Dahl Tomasson is loving life at Ewood Park with the hosts heading into this game with four wins in their last five league fixtures.
  • Preston's miserable run of form finally came to an end last Saturday when they came from behind to secure a 3-2 home win against a Coventry side still suffering a play-off final hangover.
  • So strong was the Lilywhites' start to the campaign that they are now back in the play-off places.
