Rovers could make it five Championship victories on the bounce when they make the trip to Stoke City.

Jon Dahl Tomasson’s men enter the game in high spirits following last weekend’s 1-0 win against Sheffield United, with Harry Pickering getting the decisive goal inside the opening five minutes.

Rovers are currently fourth in the table – only two points behind third-place Middlesbrough heading into the business end of the season.

Meanwhile, Stoke find themselves in 16th place and recorded an emphatic 5-1 in at Sunderland last time out, with Tyrese Campbell and Dwight Gayle both bagging braces.

When and where is the game being played?

The fixture takes place tonight (Friday, March 10) at the bet365 Stadium, with kick-off scheduled for 8pm.

Tomasson’s men suffered a 1-0 defeat when the sides met at Ewood Park back in August after Lewis Baker’s first-half strike.

Rovers ran out 1-0 winners on their last trip to Stoke in November 2021. Reda Khadra scored the winner that day.
