Blackburn head into gameweek three of the 2022/23 Championship season as the only team with a 100% record, and their start was made even better when they hammered League Two side Hartlepool in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday night. Jon Dahl Tomasson's side will fancy their chances of staying at the top of the table when West Brom visit Ewood Park on Sunday. West Brom outshot Watford 19-5 on Monday night, but Ismaila Sarr scored a stunning goal from inside the Watford half to restrict the Baggies to just a point on home turf. Steve Bruce will take the positives from his side's start to the season, despite a points haul of just two from as many games. 1:1
Jon Dahl Tomasson will likely revert back to the same starting XI that hammered Swansea 3-0 last weekend, with only centre-back Scott Wharton keeping his place from the 4-0 Carabao Cup win against Hartlepool. Rovers have a clean bill of health as they welcome West Brom to Ewood Park this weekend. Steve Bruce could make just one change to the side that drew 1-1 with Watford last time out with Turkish international Okay Yokuslu making his first start since returning to the club. American international striker Daryl Dike has suffered yet another injury and will now undergo a scan on what could be a serious calf problem. Kenneth Zohore is set to leave the Hawthorns this summer, but the Danish striker has now suffered a hamstring injury in training.
