Blackburn Rovers v Albion match preview

ALBION begin 2019 with a trip to face Blackburn Rovers at Ewood Park on New Year’s Day (ko 3pm).

The opposition

Blackburn currently sit 15th in the Sky Bet Championship table after claiming 31 points from their 25 games so far this campaign.

It’s been a difficult spell for Tony Mowbray’s side, who have lost to Norwich, Leeds and most recently Sheffield United over the festive period.

Last time out

Albion and Blackburn had to settle for a draw in their Hawthorns clash earlier this season.

Craig Dawson had put the Baggies ahead but Harrison Reed’s second-half equaliser ensured Rovers left with a point despite midfielder Richard Smallwood having to spend the final 17 minutes in goal.
