Team News: Tom Lawrence starts in attack for Blackburn Rovers, one change for Bristol City

Tom Lawrence starts in attack for Rovers

Leicester City loanee Tom Lawrence begins up front for Blackburn Rovers, while Bristol City make one change as Bobby Reid starts in place of the suspended Marlon Pack this afternoon.

Lawrence, who will take up the spot just behind striker Jordan Rhodes, is preferred over Chris Taylor who drops to the bench.

The on-loan Leicester forward is the only change made by Rovers manager Paul Lambert from their previous fixture in which they conceded late to draw 2-2 with Sheffield Wednesday.

Pack, whose suspension caused City manager Steve Cotterill frustration, is replaced in midfield by Reid.

The Robins are otherwise unchanged from their 3-0 away defeat to Rotherham United last weekend.

Bristol City: Fielding; Bennett, Ayling, Flint, Baker; Williams, Smith, Reid, Freeman; Agard, Kodjia Subs: O'Leary, Bryan, Moore, Little, Burns, Cox, Wilbraham

Blackburn Rovers: Steele; Henley, Hanley, Duffy, Olsson; Marshall, Evans, Akpan, Conway; Lawrence, Rhodes Subs: Eastwood, Spurr, Kilgallon, Brown, Williamson, Taylor, Guthrie
