Team News

Blackburn
Watford
  • Jon Dahl Tomasson will likely recall Harry Leonard for Saturday's clash with Watford.
  • Versatile wide man Callum Brittain is suspended following his red card against Southampton.
  • Valerien Ismael is expected to make two changes to the side that hammered Preston last time out with right-back Ryan Andrews and winger Yaser Asprilla both likely to return.
  • Watford have a clean bill of health for the trip to Ewood Park.

Prediction

  • A 55th-minute Callum Brittain red card killed off any hopes of a Blackburn comeback last weekend as Rovers were hammered 4-0 on their visit to St. Mary's.
  • Jon Dahl Tomasson's men have now lost three of their last four Championship games and concerns remain over the home side's defensive characteristics.
  • Watford scored five goals after the 40-minute mark against Preston last time out as they came from behind to destroy Ryan Lowe's men on their visit to Deepdale.
  • The Hornets are finding their identity under Valerien Ismael and head into this game off the back of consecutive away league wins.
