Blackpool makes the trip to Kenilworth Road for their Championship fixture against Luton Town on Saturday, with kickoff at 5 pm.
Luton Town’s poor home form continued on Wednesday as they drew 2-2 with basement club Coventry City.
Carlton Morris scored twice in the first 15 minutes, but Gustavo Hamer scored a wonder goal just after the hour mark to make it 2-2.
The visitors were lucky not to be awarded a penalty when defender Kyle McFadzean appeared to handball the ball in his six-yard box. Still, Luton has now won only one of their last nine competitive games at Kenilworth Road.
They have made an identical start to last season: two wins, four draws, and three losses from their first nine Championship matches.
Blackburn returned to winning ways against Watford, who they beat 2-0 at Ewood Park on Tuesday.
Goals either side of halftime from Ryan Hedges and Dominic Hyam helped Rovers record their fifth Championship win of the season and kept them within touching distance of Sheffield United and Norwich City in the top two.
Blackburn was a point better off at this stage last term, but Jon Dahl Tomasson can still be pleased with his side’s start to the new campaign as they bid to improve on last season’s eighth-place finish.

Luton Town Team News
Luton Town will be without midfielder Pelly Ruddock and goalkeeper James Shea, who are both injured. Defender Alfie Doughty is also doubtful and will be assessed before kickoff. Carlton Morris and Harry Cornick were both key performers in midweek, and it is expected that they will retain their places in attack for the visit of Yeovil.
Blackburn Team News
Blackburn captain Tomasson is expected to stick with the 3-4-3 formation he implemented during the win over Watford. Dominic Hyam, Daniel Ayala, and Scott Wharton will continue in the back three while Hayden Carter and Harry Pickering operate as wing-backs.

Both teams have scored plenty of goals in recent weeks, and we can expect an entertaining goal-fest this weekend.
