Team News

Blackburn
Preston
  • Lewis Travis made the bench against Bristol City and could start on Friday night, while Amario Cozier-Duberry could also be recalled.
  • Todd Cantwell is managing a minor calf problem and is doubtful for John Eustace's side.
  • Central midfielder Ben Whiteman has suffered a serious ankle injury in training and faces a spell on the sidelines.
  • No changes are expected from Paul Heckingbottom ahead of this Lancashire Derby.

Prediction

  • Blackburn couldn't provide a response after Nahki Wells put Bristol City 2-1 up last weekend, falling to a narrow away defeat at Ashton Gate.
  • Rovers are struggling to perform in the face of a stifling injury crisis and now head into gameweek 30 on a three-match losing streak.
  • Preston travel to Ewood Park with plenty of confidence as they look to secure a derby-day victory on the road.
  • Emil Riis' late goal earned the Lilywhites all three points against play-off hopefuls Middlesbrough last Saturday, meaning Paul Heckingbottom's side are unbeaten in four with back-to-back wins to their name.
