Prediction: 2-1
Stoke City
Blackburn Rovers will try to make amends for a 2-0 loss to Sheffield United when they take on Stoke City in the Championship round 14. The Riversiders suffered a dip in form, with the team failing to find the net in the last three league games, but they are surely capable of matching Stoke at their Ewood Park. The likes of Carter, Gilsenan, and Wharton miss out with injuries for the home side.
The visitors, on the other hand, aim to build on a 2-1 win over Derby County. The Potters did well to put an end to their five-game winless run in all competitions, but given their difficulties on the road, we are tempted to place our bets on Blackburn Rovers, who are a real force to be reckoned with at home. Both Ben Pearson and Sam Gallagher miss out with injuries for the away team.
