Rovers are back in Championship action this weekend when they take on local rivals Preston North End.

It has been nearly a month since Jon Dahl Tomasson’s men played their last league match against Burnley.

Rovers currently sit third in the Championship table – just two points behind second-place Sheffield United.

Meanwhile, Preston sit ninth and suffered a 4-2 defeat against Millwall in their last outing before the break.

When and where is the game being played?

The Championship fixture takes place at Ewood Park on Saturday afternoon, with a kick-off time of 12pm.

Rovers ran out 4-1 winners when the sides last met back in April thanks to goals from Sam Gallagher, John Buckley, Darragh Lenihan and Lewis Travis.

They also came out on top at Ewood Park several months prior, with Ben Brereton getting the decisive goal that day.
