Prediction: 1-1
Newcastle
All eyes will be on Riverside Stadium when Blackburn Rovers and Newcastle United lock horns at Riverside Stadium on Tuesday evening. The Riversiders failed to win the previous four Championship games, but it seems as if their performances are much better than the results. Ryan Hedges limped off with injury in a 1-1 draw with Norwich City at the weekend, with Harry Pickering likely to replace him in the starting XI.
The Magpies, on the other hand, failed to impress in a 4-1 loss to Arsenal, but they are surely capable of matching Blackburn at Riverside Stadium. Anyhow, we are tempted to put our money on draw as the Riversiders are tough to beat at home. Fit-again midfielder Joe Willock is pushing for a start after scoring as a substitute in the Emirates Stadium defeat, while goalkeeper Martin Dubravka is a major doubt. Harvey Barnes could sneak into the starting XI as well.

Blackburn Rovers have been trying to return to the Premier League ever since they dropped to the Championship in 2012.
