John Eustace will have to manage his Blackburn Rovers this week with a busy end before the international break.

Rovers have plenty of travelling to do as they face visits to Coventry City and Plymouth Argyle. Eustace will be wary of fitness levels with three games in a week for the first time in a month.

Harry Pickering and Arnor Sigurdsson are doubts whilst it's doubtful as to whether Callum Brittain will return before the international break.

With that in mind, an unchanged back five seems likely if Pickering is fit after illness. Given the lack of alternatives, as Owen Beck is suspended, you'd expect he'll power through. Joe Rankin-Costello is more likely to deputise if not.

After three successive clean sheets, a back five of Aynsley Pears, Hayden Carter, Danny Batth, Dom Hyam and Pickering will be full of confidence. You'd expect them to be protected by Lewis Travis and Sondre Tronstad once again.

In attack, Makhtar Gueye might come into the starting line-up for Yuki Ohashi. Similarly, Ryan Hedges might be protected after a run of successive starts and three games in seven days.

Todd Cantwell could come in after an impressive performance against Queens Park Rangers. Amario Cozier-Duberry is also pushing to make his first Championship start for Rovers.

Such was the impact of Cantwell, I think he'll come in on the left in place of Hedges, with Weimann, Tyrhys Dolan and Gueye making up the forward line.

Predicted Rovers team: Pears; Carter, Batth, Hyam, Pickering; Travis, Tronstad; Weimann, Dolan, Cantwell; Gueye.
