Friday night sees Blackburn Rovers host Preston North End in front of the Sky Sports cameras
Preston North End face Blackburn Rovers at Ewood Park on Friday night - for the first Lancashire derby of the 2023/24 season. Here, Rovers reporter for the Lancashire Telegraph, Elliott Jackson, gives us his lowdown ahead of derby day. The performances have been good and there have been plenty of games where they haven't got what they've 'deserved'.
If North End play out from the back, then he and Tyrhys Dolan will hound them for 90 minutes. Adam Wharton has the quality to dictate a game from midfield too, whilst Harry Leonard has looked great when he's started - but he could be on the bench as the youngster eases his way back from a recent injury. Yeah, it's far from ideal. Rovers have had success with their appeal of Scott Wharton's red card from Sunday though, which is a big boost for them.
