Here's The Lancashire Telegraph's best guess on how Rovers might line-up against Millwall in the Championship.
Goalkeeper
Aynsley Pears will be in goal for Rovers once again at Ewood Park.
Defence
Despite shipping a couple of goals at Swansea, Eustace is likely to go with the same back three against a physical Millwall side.
Although Kyle McFadzean came off at half-time in South Wales, I think his experience will be important against the aerial bombardment Millwall will bring.
Dom Hyam, Scott Wharton, Callum Brittain and Harry Pickering should all start again too.
Midfield
Sondre Tronstad is a major doubt and so finding the right partner for John Buckley is imperative. Andrew Moran has started the last two but struggled against Swansea.
Yasin Ayari has done well as a substitute in the last couple of games and might get the nod ahead of Jake Garrett.
Attack
Considering the magnitude of the game, it's hard to see Eustace veering too far away from his preferred front three.
Sam Gallagher and Sam Szmodics completed 90 minutes again on Saturday but will probably be asked to go again.
Predicted Blackburn Rovers team: Pears; Brittain, Hyam, McFadzean, Wharton, Pickering; Ayari, Buckley; Dolan, Szmodics, Gallagher.
