Valerien Ismael has a decision to make in goal for Blackburn Rovers with Balazs Toth and Aynsley Pears vying to start against Millwall.

Pears missed the win over Luton Town with an Achilles issue but returned to training. Toth kept a clean sheet and made an important save to preserve the three points. Ismael was coy on which goalkeeper might get the nod but hinted he may give Toth another opportunity to impress.

Callum Brittain could return at right-back after being passed fit. Harry Pickering and Yuri Ribeiro are likely to be rotated over the Easter weekend, with Dom Hyam and Danny Batth remaining in the middle.

There is little reason to change the front six either with Yuki Ohashi and Ryan Hedges shrugging off knocks to play. With few fresh options, it's likely to be more of the same at the top end of the pitch.

Predicted Rovers team: Toth; Brittain, Hyam, Batth, Pickering; Travis, Tronstad; Dolan, Cantwell. Hedges; Ohashi.
