Team Previews, Form and Standout Players

The last time out saw an incredible Andreas Weimann goal cancelling out Burnley’s lead and sharing the points at Turf Moor, the game was cagey, as derby games usually are, but since that game on August 31st, both sides have really taken well to life in the second tier, and are occupying playoff and automatic promotion places respectively.

Burnley’s form in recent weeks has been the better of the two, with Scott Parker leading his team to 12 games unbeaten, 7 of those being wins. This has moved The Clarets into 2nd spot, and they will be desperate to hang on to that in their pursuit for promotion back to The Premier League

Blackburn Rovers Preview

Formation: 4-2-3-1

_Predicted Line-Up: Aynsley Pears; Owen Beck; Danny Batth, Dom Hyam; Callum Brittain; Sondre Tronstad, Lewis Baker; Andreas Weimann, Tyrhys Dolan, Ryan Hedges; Makhtar Gueye _

John Eustace has overachieved greatly thus far at Rovers, with safety in the league the main objective pre-season. However, in football fans can forget that very quickly, and he will now be very keen to keep their playoff push going, and gain victory over their bitter rivals. Rovers are missing some key members of the side through injury, Lewis Travis, Yuki Ohashi and Todd Cantwell will all miss this one, which will be a huge loss through the spine of the Rovers midfield and frontline. Experienced Andreas Weimann will be hoping to recreate his heroics from the return fixture, whilst he hopes that the men behind him put in another solid display, as they did at Elland Road in their recent 1-1 draw with the table toppers.

Burnley Preview

Formation: 4-2-3-1

Predicted Line-Up: James Trafford; Lucas Pires; Maxime Esteve, Conrad Egan-Riley; Connor Roberts; Josh Cullen, Josh Brownhill; Jaidon Anthony, Luca Koleosho, Zian Flemming; Jay Rodriguez.

Coming into this game in superb defensive form, the visitors will be looking to keep the Rovers front four quiet, and with the likes of Connor Roberts and Maxime Esteve in their backline, the task certainly becomes easier. Scoring goals has been a slight issue for Parker’s men this season, and the lack of a goalscoring number 9 has been evident throughout this campaign. Experienced Jay Rodriguez will be hoping to roll back the years and earn a victory for his side in the derby.
