Blackburn have not come out of the summer window with a much strength in depth as they may have liked, but they appear to have prioritised quality over quantity, which may stand them in good stead for the longer term.

The Hatters have not been as ruthless as they were in the second half of last season so far, but they have the attacking quality to put Rovers to the sword.

The Verdict

 

 

Goals from Ryan Hedges and Dominic Hyam did the trick in midweek as Rovers produced a dominant performance against Watford, and they will need to carry that momentum into the weekend to impose themselves in the Kenilworth Road cauldron.

However, the bubble may have burst in terms of a trip to Luton being one of the toughest away days in the calendar, with the Hatters yet to pull off a victory from five home league outings so far.

That will only increase Nathan Jones' determination and even though Rovers have began the campaign with a lot of promise, they are rightful outsiders heading into Saturday's matchup.
