Blackburn v Fulham line-ups: Two Whites midfielders missing, Rovers make four changes

Fulham make two changes to their side for the trip to Blackburn Rovers, with Sakari Mattila and Luke Garbutt starting in a five-man midfield.

Head coach Slavisa Jokanovic keeps faith with the 3-5-2 formation used in the 3-1 win over QPR on Saturday, with Mattila replacing Scott Parker and Garbutt coming in at left-wing for the injured Lasse Vigen Christensen.

There is no Rohan Ince on the bench, but Tim Ream and January signing Zakaria Labyad are both named as substitutes.[phone][/phone]

Former Blackburn midfielder Tom Cairney starts against his old club.

Elliott Bennett comes in for Craig Conway and boss Paul Lambert changes his strike partnership, with Chris Brown and the fit-again Danny Graham ousting Tony Watt and Simeon Jackson.
