Blackburn Rovers
A spot in the EFL Cup last 32 will be at stake when Harrogate and Blackburn Rovers face each other at EnviroVent Stadium on Wednesday evening. The Sulphurites are eager to claim a major scalp in the League Cup round 2 and their display in a 2-0 win over Morecambe surely gave them a confidence boost. There are no fresh selection worries in the home team ahead of the midweek clash.
The Seasiders, on the other hand, did well to beat Watford at Vicarage Road, with Ryan Hedges scoring the only goal of the match. Blackburn kicked off their EFL Cup campaign with a thrilling 4-3 win over Walsall and given their attacking potential, away triumph should be considered. Both Arnor Sigurdsson and Jack Vale are sidelined with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the visiting team ahead of the trip to Harrogate.
