Blackburn Rovers will host visiting opposition team Southampton at Ewood Park in the Championship meeting on Saturday. We have the latest player updates and predicted teams line ups.
Blackburn Rovers, buoyed by their previous result, will be hoping for more of the same after a 1-5 Championship victory versus Sunderland. In our view, Rovers should make use of the 4-2-3-1 system this time, beginning the first half with Aynsley Pears, Callum Brittain, Dominic Hyam, Scott Wharton, Ben Chrisene, Sondre Tronstad, Joe Rankin-Costello, Ryan Hedges, Samuel Szmodics, Tyrhys Dolan and Sam Gallagher.
There is just the lone fitness concern for the Blackburn Rovers manager John Eustace to be concerned with due to a largely intact set of players. Arnór Sigurdsson misses out.
How Blackburn Rovers might line up versus Southampton
After being defeated in their last game at the hands of Ipswich Town in Championship competition, Southampton and their travelling fans will hope for a better result here. There’s a good chance that The Saints appear most likely to begin the game with a 4-3-3 system by sending out Gavin Bazunu, Kyle Walker-Peters, T. Harwood-Bellis, Jan Bednarek, Ryan Manning, Joe Aribo, Flynn Downes, Stuart Armstrong, Adam Armstrong, Che Adams and David Brooks.
S'hampton manager Russell Martin has some current player fitness concerns. Kamaldeen Sulemana (unknown injury), Juan Larios (unknown injury) and Ross Stewart (Muscle injury) won’t be making appearances.
