Blackburn Rovers nearly got off to a dream start to life back in the Championship but were pegged back by a late Ipswich Town goal.

After trailing against the Tractor Boys, goals from Danny Graham and Bradley Dack turned the score around to give Blackburn a 2-1 lead.

Tony Mowbray’s men looked like they were going to hold on for an impressive win at Portman Road but suffered late heartbreak.

In injury time, substitute Tayo Edun’s speculative long-range cross evaded everyone and ended up in the back of the net to ensure the points were shared.

Blackburn need to bounce back from that late disappointment and make sure they are prepared for this weekend’s clash.

They host Millwall and know that they will face a tough challenge from the Londoners.

Here is the XI that Mowbray should deploy to ensure they pick up all three points at Ewood Park.

There were question marks over his positioning for the Ipswich equaliser but Raya is still a very good goalkeeper.

Youngster Nyambe is a top talent and big things are predicted for his future.

Lenihan is very solid, good on the ball and dominant in the air.

Mulgrew is still going strong and the veteran defender gets plenty of goals too.

Williams is set to continue down the left flank although Amari'i Bell is waiting in the wings.

Could Davenport be handed his first Blackburn start after joining from Manchester City this summer?

This was a tough call between Smallwood and Corry Evans and Mowbray has a decision to make.

Rather than operate with Dominic Samuel on the right, Mowbray should start Palmer to see what the talented youngster can do.

Dack is the star man in this Blackburn team and he netted against Ipswich on the opening day.

Bennett is tricky and will look to provide good service for the front man.

After scoring on the opening day, Graham will be full of confidence and he just edges out new recruit Adam Armstrong for the time-being.
