- 0' What a night it is going to be! Blackburn Rovers FC welcome AFC Bournemouth for this crunch clash at Ewood Park.

- 21' Dominic Solanke is having a superb {COMPETITION} campaign — that is 1 goals this season for the forward.
- 26' Both keepers have barely been tested. Blackburn Rovers FC and AFC Bournemouth are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
