Swansea City travel to Ewood Park to face a Blackburn Rovers side that arrested a worrying slump at the weekend.
Blackburn ended a run of eight straight games without a win by beating Millwall at The Den on Saturday evening.
Bradley Dack and Sam Gallagher scored the goals for Tony Mowbray's side in what was an excellent, morale-boosting win for them.
Trending
The win did nothing to boost their position in the Championship standings, as Blackburn remain 15th. However, Mowbray needed that win to get some confidence back into his side.
They will need all that confidence going into this clash against high-flying Swansea.
They are currently third in the Championship standings and have two games in hand. Meanwhile, they are a point behind Watford, who are currently in second place.
In their last match, Swansea relied on a second straight Andre Ayew strike in second-half stoppage time to register a 2-1 win against Middlesbrough.
After Ayew himself had scored to give Swansea the lead in the first half, Sam Morsy looked as if he had rescued a point for Boro with a goal in the 91st minute.
But Steve Cooper's Ghanaian talisman showed nerves of steel from the spot to secure victory. The win kept the Swans well in the hunt to secure automatic promotion to the Premier League next season.
Blackburn Rovers vs Swansea City Head-to-Head
Blackburn have won 22 of the 44 games they have played against Swansea so far, losing only 15 of them.
Ben Cabango and Andre Ayew scored as the Swans beat Blackburn 2-0 in the reverse fixture at the Liberty Stadium earlier this season.
