Rovers set for change

Blackburn manager Sam Allardyce will ring the changes as he rotates his squad for Monday’s FA Cup third round tie at Blyth Spartans.

Dutch defender Andre Ooijer and Ryan Nelsen are missing through suspension, which will pave the way for the return from injury of Vince Grella, and midfielder David Dunn and in-demand striker Roque Santa Cruz are still sidelined with hamstring and calf injuries respectively.
