Preview | Blackburn Rovers v Swansea City

Swansea City look to return to winning ways when they take on Blackburn Rovers at Ewood Park tonight (7.45pm).

The Swans head to Lancashire frustrated to have dropped two points against Millwall at the weekend.

Blackburn, meanwhile, are searching for a first home win of the campaign.

Team news

Heading into the second instalment of a three-game week, head coach Alan Sheehan has the option of making changes for the trip to Lancashire.

Goncalo Franco will be hoping to return to the starting line-up after being among the substitutes at the weekend, while there were no new injury concerns for the Swans following the draw with Millwall.

Pre-match views

Alan Sheehan: "It will be another very tough test and one we will turn our attention to quickly once we debrief the Millwall game.

"We are frustrated we have not put more points on the board over the last few games and we need to dust ourselves down and get ourselves ready to go again.

"The players are giving us absolutely everything it is just about those fine margins in these games. We need to come out on the right side of them and be clinical in both boxes."

Valerien Ismael: "If you're not 100 per cent or if you drop a little bit, then you will get punished. The quality of the Championship is that high.

"We have a quick turnaround and we have to focus quickly. There's always an opportunity to do better.

"We must learn how to deal with this situation, make sure we're better mentally and physically for Tuesday."

Remember the last time?

Swansea City fell to defeat at Ewood Park as Tyrhys Dolan’s early goal gave Blackburn Rovers all three points.

Dolan found the net thanks to a deflected strike from a corner and, while Swansea had plenty of territory and possession, they were unable to find an equaliser.

Florian Bianchini spurned their best chance in the first half, while Liam Cullen looped a header over the bar and Goncalo Franco dragged an effort wide on an afternoon of frustration in Lancashire.
