Blackburn Rovers Preview – Can the Blue and Whites upset the Cottagers?
Blackburn Rovers have kicked off their season in fine form, collecting 23 points from 15 games. The Lancashire side are in seventh place after six wins, five draws and four defeats. They are a point behind Blackpool and Huddersfield Town, who are sixth and fifth, respectively.
After drawing one and losing three of four, Tony Mowbray’s boys have responded with back-to-back wins over Reading and Derby County. The Blue and Whites have been strong at Ewood Park, winning four, drawing two and losing one of seven in the league. That only home reverse came to West Bromwich Albion in August.
Blackburn will be hoping to be in the promotion mix come May, and they certainly have a capable squad of players. Can they edge past one of the Championship’s best on Wednesday?
Fulham Preview – Will the Londoners make it five wins on the spin?
Fulham were in patchy form from mid-September to the start of October, but the Cottagers have turned a corner of late. The London side head to Ewood Park having won four on the spin in the league.
Fulham have looked the real deal in recent matches, seeing off Queens Park Rangers, Cardiff City, Nottingham Forest and West Brom in successive games. During that excellent run, Marco Silva’s men have scored 13 and conceded just one.
