    Blackburn Rovers v Leeds Utd
    Saturday 4th June 2020 at 15.00pm | Ewood Park


    Leeds have injury concerns about Captain Liam Cooper and utility player Stuart Dallas for the trip of Blackburn Rovers on Saturday afternoon.

    Dallas is set to miss out due to a slight hamstring pull, whilst Coopers injury was 'nothing more than a kick to the back’ according to Phil Hay.

    Jean-Kevin Augustins season has come to a premature end. The 23yo has flown back to Germany after Leeds chose not to renew his contract.

    On form Alioski will deputise for the Northern Ireland International whilst Berardi stands by incase Coopers condition worsens.

    Tony Mobray's side have slipped to 10th in the table after back-to-back defeats at Wigan Athletic and Barnsley, denting Rovers play off hopes. They are now five points adrift from a play off place.

    They will be desperate to try and bag three points on Saturday to keep their play off dreams alive.

    Rovers will also be without striker Ben Brereton who was sent off in Tuesday night's loss at Barnsley just seven minutes after coming off the bench as a sub.

    Following Leeds slip ping to a 1-1 draw against lowly Luton midweek, they remain a point ahead of the Baggies who occupy the second play off space and 5 points ahead of in form Brentford who have a +10 better goal difference than the Whites.

    Looking forward to this game. I can't imagine them parking the bus (our regular downfall) when they have an outside chance of making the playoffs. They have to play a more open game. Surely? <yikes>

    I know if feels like we lost against Luton but actually we came back and got a vital point.

    So...6 points in front of Brentford not 5.

    It might as well be 5 as their GD is way better than ours.

    Potentially vital though.

    We can draw 2 games and win the rest...or lose 1 game and draw 1 game and win the rest.

    And that's assuming Brentford win all their remaining 6 matches.

    It's still very much in our own hands.

    We haven't been great defensively when Dallas has not played in our back four

    Also 6 goals in his last 35 matches when he plays as a wing-back

    We'll miss Stuart Dallas

    Three drastic changes there I would go with, unfortunately I can't see Marcelo picking that team

    Do people think that we've missed Kiko too much?

    Not one bit, Meslier's distribution of the ball is easily as good, and don't think Kiko is stopping the goals, and no way would he be coming and collecting as Meslier does.

    I do think Meslier should've done a bit better with a couple of the goals we've conceded since the break but would Kiko have done any better? Hard to say, he has made a fair few mistakes in his time with us.

    I think I've got so used to us having a liability between the sticks that I'm not really that bothered who's there at the moment, they usually only have one or two saves to make a game anyway.

    Blackburn have 7 first team players out injured. The guy who returned for them in midweek and scored broke his toe, Dack leading scorer for them is out too. A must win and odds are even more in our favour with their injury list
