Blackburn Rovers are expected to field a largely unchanged team for their match against Sunderland, with only one potential alteration. Harry Pickering is likely to replace another player in the left-back position.
Key midfielders Lewis Travis and Sondre Tronstad are set to start again after a strong performance. The forward line is also expected to remain consistent.
Balazs Toth is predicted to start in goal. Apart from the potential change at left-back, the rest of the defense is likely to remain the same.
The article suggests a lineup prioritizing continuity and maintaining momentum after their recent victory, focusing on key players and their recent form.
The win over Millwall ensured back-to-back wins and gives Rovers some momentum ahead of the quick turnaround on Easter Monday.
Whilst Ismael will want to ensure more injury issues don't occur, the nature of the win makes it difficult to envisage too many changes. The head coach was able to give some of his key players a small breather on Friday with the result secured by the hour mark.
As a result, it'll likely be much of the same, starting with Balazs Toth in net. Harry Pickering is the only potential change in the defence to give him some game time at left-back.
In midfield, Lewis Travis and Sondre Tronstad will continue after their impressive display. The front four could remain the same for the third match running too.
Predicted Rovers XI: Toth; Brittain, Hyam, Batth, Pickering; Travis, Tronstad; Dolan, Cantwell, Hedges; Ohashi.
