Blackburn Rovers are preparing for a match following a 1-1 draw with Norwich City. In the game, Blackburn had 42% possession and 10 attempts on goal, with Dominic Hyam scoring the only goal. Norwich City had 7 shots at goal, with Marcelino Núñez scoring the only goal. Blackburn’s defense has been breached in five of their last six games, allowing seven goals. The match will determine if this trend continues.

Newcastle United will aim to improve after a loss against Arsenal in their last Premier League game. In that game, they managed 45% possession and 3 attempts at goal, with Sven Botman and Joe Willock scoring. Arsenal had 18 attempts on goal and 8 on target, with Kai Havertz, Bukayo Saka, and Jakub Kiwior scoring. Newcastle United has been scored against in 5 of their last 6 games, with 11 goals scored.

Blackburn Rovers manager John Eustace is solely concerned with the fitness of John Buckley due to a shoulder injury.

Newcastle United manager Eddie Howe has a limited squad due to injuries of Martin Dúbravka, Matt Targett, Callum Wilson, Nick Pope, Elliot Anderson, and Joelinton.
