Plymouth Argyle welcome Blackburn Rovers to Home Park for an EFL Championship matchday five fixture on Saturday (September 2).
The hosts are coming off a disappointing 4-2 defeat to Crystal Palace at home in the EFL Cup. The Pilgrims had a two-goal lead by the 58th minute, but Jean-Philippe Matete's hat-trick helped Palace progress to the third round.
The Devon outfit will turn their focus back to the league, where they lost 2-1 at Birmingham City in their last outing. The defeat left them in 16th spot, having garnered four points from as many games.
