Blackburn have an almost clean bill of health after Callum Brittain, Harry Pickering and Arnor Sigurdsson have all been passed fit for this game while Makhtar Gueye also returns from suspension. Scott Wharton remains out as he recovers from a knee injury.

Both teams to score @ 8/11

Blackburn were tipped by many for relegation but they have had an impressive start to the new season, winning three and drawing two of their five league games so far.

They take on rivals Preston, who have had some improved results after a slow start to the campaign.

North End are also unbeaten in the last four meetings between these two sides so will be aiming to continue their strong record against their rivals.

The teams are hard to separate in the match-result market and in this derby clash it may pay to side with both teams to find the net.

Both teams have scored in all but one of Blackburn’s seven games in all competitions this season while the same selection has landed in the last five head-to-heads between these two.

Yuki Ohashi to score anytime @ 2/1

Replacing last season’s Championship top scorer Sammie Szmodics is no easy task but new Blackburn signing Yuki Ohashi has made a strong start, netting five goals in seven games in all competitions.

Rovers were the joint-top scorers going into this weekend’s games with 12 and their new striker can find his way onto the scoresheet again here.
