Blackburn Rovers preserved their unbeaten record in midweek after battling back from 2-0 down to claim a hard-fought 2-2 draw at home to Reading.

The Royals travelled to Ewood Park without a point to their name and only off the bottom on goal difference but they took a 2-0 lead into half-time courtesy of a Jon Dadi Bodvarsson brace.

To make things worse, Mowbray had to withdraw Adam Armstrong at half-time due to an injury which will keep him out of this Saturday's home tie against Brentford.

But two Charlie Mulgrew penalties saved the day for Rovers and they remain undefeated in 2018/19.

With one win and three draws to their name, Blackburn will be hoping to make home advantage count against Brentford, who are also undefeated at this stage.

Blackburn are without Armstrong and Dominic Samuel, as well as Derrick Williams and Jacob Davenport.

Star man Bradley Dack and Kasey Palmer are doubts for this clash.

Here is how Mowbray should line his side up with all these injuries considered.

Young goalkeeper Raya will keep his place ahead of Jayson Leutwiler.

Nyambe is really progressing into a top class defender at this level.

Lenihan did not have his best game for Rovers but he is still a top defender.

The hero of Tuesday night, Mulgrew is the captain and leader of this Blackburn team.

In the absence of Williams, Bell will continue doing a good job down that left flank.

Evans was impressive on Tuesday night and should retain his starting spot.

After being moved to central midfield on Tuesday, Rothwell was magnificent, winning every tackle and offering a real engine in midfield so he should partner Evans on Saturday.

With Palmer unlikely to be back and Armstrong and Samuel definitely out, it could be a recall to the starting line-up for veteran Conway.

Blackburn fans will be praying Dack returns to full fitness in time for Saturday's game.

Bennett took a knock on Tuesday night but should be fine to continue on the left flank.

Graham will continue up front, with only really youngster Joe Nuttall able to compete for a spot.
