BLACKBURN Rovers have made three changes for this afternoon’s Championship clash at home to Brighton & Hove Albion.

The fit-again Markus Olsson, Jay Spearing and Chris Brown replace Tommy Spurr, Corry Evans and Rudy Gestede.

Gestede and Spurr are on the bench but Evans is ruled out with a groin strain.

Rovers are bidding to return to winning ways after seeing their run of three straight league victories ended by Brentford on Tuesday.

Brighton, who have failed to win any of their previous six away matches, make four changes to the team that started their 0-0 draw at Millwall on the same night.

Rohan Ince, Emmanuel Ledesma, Joao Teixeira and Chris O’Grady take the place of Danny Holla, Inigo Calderon, Craig Mackail-Smith and on-loan Rovers striker Leon Best, who is ineligible to face his parent club.

Rovers: Steele, Henley, Baptiste, Kilgallon, Olsson, Taylor, Spearing, Cairney, Marshall, Rhodes, Brown. Subs: Eastwood, Spurr, Williamson, Songo'o, Lenihan, Mahoney, Gestede.

Brighton: Stockdale, Bruno, Halford, Greer, Bennett, Ince, Kayal, Stephens, Ledesma, O’Grady, Teixeira. Subs: Walton, Calderon, Hughes, Holla, Forster-Caskey, LuaLua, Mackail-Smith.
