Preview: Blackburn Rovers vs. Yeovil Town

Blackburn vs. Yeovil

Blackburn Rovers can extend their unbeaten run to nine games and keep alive their hopes of reaching the playoffs if they defeat bottom-of-the-table Yeovil Town on Good Friday.

It is now over a month since Gary Bowyer's since last suffered defeat and they go into Friday's match in 10th position, four points adrift of the top six.

Bowyer could welcome back midfielders David Dunn and Corry Evans, while Dickson Etuhu, Ben Marshall and Adam Henley are still out.

Just one win in their last nine fixtures means that Yeovil go into the final four games of the season five points adrift of safety at the bottom.

Gary Johnson recalled Sam Foley from his loan at Shrewsbury Town earlier today and the midfielder could be in the squad for the trip North to Lancashire.

Jordan Rhodes scored the only goal of the game in the reverse fixture at Ewood Park just before Christmas.
