With Blackburn boss Sam Allardyce recuperating from heart surgery, assistant manager Neil McDonald may make a number of changes ahead of the visit of Tony Pulis' Stoke City to Ewood Park.
Full back Gael Givet has finally overcome a niggling thigh injury and is set to start in place of Lars Jacobsen, with Australian midfielder Brett Emerton also likely to be recalled to the Blackburn starting eleven. Keith Andrews could drop to the bench.
Upfront, Franco Di Santo could be replaced by Benni McCarthy, with Jason Roberts retaining his place as the other forward.
Stoke City boss Tony Pulis will welcome skipper Abdoulaye Faye back to central defence after the player was suspended for Stoke's 1-0 win over Portsmouth. Robert Huth is likely to be shifted to right back to accomodate Faye.
Republic of Ireland international Glenn Whelan is set to be recalled after missing out last time with a groin strain.
There is still no place in the starting eleven for Tuncay Sanli, with James Beattie and Ricardo Fuller the preferred strike partnership.
