John Eustace must decide how heavily he freshens up his Blackburn Rovers team after their first defeat of the season.

The head coach insisted nobody's places are secure due to 'credit in the bank' despite a positive start to the season. Rovers were below their usual levels at Coventry and changes are anticipated.

They're unlikely to be in the back five though. Callum Brittain is unlikely to feature after four weeks out with a knee injury and so Eustace will may well stick with a backline that had recorded three successive clean sheets, prior to midweek.

In midfield, we could see the first alteration of the season. Lewis Travis and Sondre Tronstad look fatigued at various times on Tuesday which could open the door for Lewis Baker to start in his favoured role.

The attack could have wholesale changes. Despite doing little wrong, it feels unlikely Todd Cantwell will start again with Rovers keen to manage his minutes.

Ryan Hedges is a certainty to come back in after being rested from the start on Tuesday. Likewise, Joe Rankin-Costello could be recalled after spending the last month on the substitute's bench. Amario Cozier-Duberry is also pushing to start in that position.

Makhtar Gueye should replace Yuki Ohashi as the number nine. It's whether Eustace retains faith in Tyrhys Dolan after a below-levels performance.

With Cantwell unlikely to start, I think Dolan probably stays in the team. It's then up to him to justify it.

Predicted Rovers team: Pears; Carter, Batth, Hyam, Pickering; Travis, Baker; Rankin-Costello, Dolan, Hedges; Gueye.
