Blackburn Rovers vs Leeds United - Blackburn bid for fifth straight home win against Leeds

Posted Friday, March 11, 2016 by PA

Blackburn will select from a similar squad against Leeds as they bid to record a fifth straight home league win at Ewood Park.

Tony Watt was promoted to Rovers' starting line-up in midweek and is likely to retain his spot after scoring as he looks to round off a memorable week that has also seen him called up to Scotland's squad.

Corry Evans came back from an ankle injury too and has reported no adverse reaction so Paul Lambert may consider naming an unchanged XI.

Blackburn remain without Danny Guthrie (hamstring), Lee Williamson (calf), Jason Lowe (foot) and Nathan Delfouneso (knee), although some of those absentees might be involved for the club's Under-21s against Fulham on Monday.

Leeds striker Chris Wood could return to action for the first time since January following his recovery from a hamstring injury.

Wood will be included in head coach Steve Evans' squad and is expected to feature after missing the last eight matches.

Defenders Liam Cooper (hamstring) and Lewie Coyle (ankle) both remain doubtful after missing the midweek win at Cardiff and will be assessed.

Evans confirmed several players were struggling with minor knocks sustained on Tuesday night, while midfielder Toumani Diagouraga and winger Stuart Dallas are pushing for recalls.
