Aiming for their sixth consecutive home win in the Championship, Blackburn Rovers will host fellow promotion contenders West Bromwich Albion at Ewood Park on Wednesday night.
After suffering back-to-back defeats on the road against Coventry City and relegation-threatened Plymouth Argyle before the international break, the hosts bounced back to form on Saturday. They faced Swansea at Ewood Park and sent the visitors back to South Wales empty-handed.
Meanwhile, the visitors have hit a rough patch, going four matches without a victory in the Championship since their impressive four-game winning streak, which lasted until September 21. This slump has prevented them from taking the lead in the promotion race after the first 10 matches of the season.
