Blackburn have resisted the temptation to bring defensive powerhouse Grant Hanley straight back into their side to face Albion today.

Rovers name the XI which beat Middlesbrough 1-0 at Ewood Park last week.

That means Matt Kilgallon and Scott Dann continue as the central defensive pair while left-back and long throw specialist Tommy Spurr has passed a fitness test on an ankle problem.

Jordan Rhodes, top scorer in the Championship this term with nine league goals, is at the sharp end of a 4-4-1-1 formation with Alan Judge playing just behind him.

Hanley, who is back from a three-game ban, goes on to the bench along with David Dunn and Dickson Etuhu, who are both back from injury, But Leon Best, who has been struggling with injury, does not feature and fellow striker DJ Campbell is suspended.

Blackburn: Kean; Kane, Dann, Kilgallon, Spurr; Cairney, Lowe, Williamson, King; Judge; Rhodes. Subs: Eastwood, Hanley, Dunn, Marshall, Taylor, Etuhu, Morris.
