Blackburn Rovers manager John Eustace remains confident that his team has the ability to compete with the top Championship clubs. This weekend, they will be heading to Leeds United in hopes of proving just that.
As Leeds aim to secure a spot in the play-offs, Blackburn will be looking to bounce back from a recent 5-0 loss to Bristol City. Despite their struggles, Eustace is optimistic that his team can replicate their impressive 5-1 win over Sunderland in their upcoming match against Leeds.
“We approach every game with a game-plan and a competitive spirit,” Eustace explained. “We know we’re facing a strong opponent, but we have the talent to match them. The Championship is unpredictable, and every team is fighting for something at this point in the season. We’re focused on ourselves, taking it one game at a time, and eagerly anticipating the challenge ahead.”
Injury concerns loom for Blackburn, with players like Semir Telalovic and Zak Gilsena likely to miss the Leeds match. Meanwhile, Leeds emerged unscathed from their recent draw against Sunderland, with Ethan Ampadu overcoming illness to play the full 90 minutes.
A victory for Leeds would see them reclaim a spot in the automatic promotion places, even if temporarily. The weekend promises to be eventful, with Leicester City facing Plymouth Argyle on Friday and Ipswich Town hosting Middlesbrough after Leeds’ match on Saturday.
