Here's The Lancashire Telegraph's best guess on how Rovers might line-up against Coventry City in the Championship.
Goalkeeper
Aynsley Pears will be between the sticks for Rovers. Despite his mistake last time out, it would be a surprise of Eustace made a change in goal.
Defence
With Scott Wharton missing with a serious knee injury, Kyle McFadzean looks set to replace him in the heart of the defence.
That would mean a reshuffle with Dom Hyam moving to the left side, as he did in the second half during the win at Leeds United.
Callum Brittain and Harry Pickering will once again continue as the wing-backs.
Midfield
Sondre Tronstad and Joe Rankin-Costello look set to continue in the middle of midfield. John Buckley and Yasin Ayari are competing for a start but I don't see Eustace breaking up his first-choice pairing.
Attack
Up front, it will be the usual front three of Sam Gallagher, Tyrhys Dolan and 31-goal marksman Sam Szmodics.
If Eustace did decide to add a fourth attacker, Andrew Moran and Dilan Markanday would be competing to come into the side.
Predicted Blackburn Rovers team: Pears; Brittain, Carter, McFadzean, Hyam, Pickering; Tronstad, Rankin-Costello; Dolan, Szmodics, Gallagher.
