Match preview

Fast-improving Fulham have firmly established themselves in the Championship's automatic promotion positions and they can make it five wins on the spin at Blackburn on Wednesday.

Questions were being asked of Marco Silva's Cottagers after they signed off for the October international break with a dismal 4-1 loss at Coventry.

However, they have responded with four successive wins – scoring 13 goals and conceding just once in that run – and head for Ewood Park high on confidence.

Silva's options are increasing, with highly-rated 19-year-old attacker Fabio Carvalho back in the frame after testing positive for Covid-19, and the depth of his squad is opposed to that of Rovers boss Tony Mowbray, who has far fewer options to choose from.

Rovers climbed to seventh after successive wins over Reading (2-0) and Derby (2-1) but they have tended to struggle against the league's stronger teams and may fall short again.
