Blackburn Rovers will look to pull further away from the relegation zone when Sunderland visit Ewood Park.
Rovers manager Steve Kean has virtually a fully-fit squad to choose from.
Defender Bradley Orr missed the win at Wolves last time out with a hamstring problem but has returned to training and played in a practice match last week.
Midfielder David Dunn has recovered from an Achilles injury so only Vince Grella is unavailable.
Sunderland full-back Phil Bardsley is fighting to be fit for the trip to Lancashire.
The former Manchester United defender is battling to shake off a rib injury to retain his place in the team, although left-back Kieran Richardson has been ruled out with the calf problem which kept him out of Saturday's FA Cup quarter-final draw at Everton.
Striker Stephane Sessegnon completes his three-match ban and will be available for Saturday's league clash with QPR, a game midfielder Lee Cattermole will sit out as he serves the last instalment of his four-match suspension, and defenders Wes Brown (knee) and Titus Bramble (Achilles/calf) remain on the sidelines.
Blackburn squad: Robinson, Orr, Dann, Givet, Hanley, Lowe, Martin Olsson, Pedersen, Petrovic, Nzonzi, Hoilett, Dunn, Yakubu, Formica, Modeste, Goodwillie, Marcus Olsson, Rochina, Vukcevic, Henley, Blackman, Bunn
