Blackburn expect Corry Evans to be fine for Thursday’s clash with Peterborough at Ewood Park.

The midfielder came off at half-time against Bristol Rovers at the weekend but trained on Wednesday to hand manager Tony Mowbray a boost.

Full-back Ryan Nyambe (hamstring) is still out and may not play again this season. Harry Chapman (hamstring) and Ben Gladwin (knee) are also out.

Peterborough could have Marcus Maddison (ankle) back for the trip. The playmaker has missed Posh's last two games and could be back along with Steven Taylor, who has completed his suspension.

However, defender Ryan Tafazolli may not play again this term due to a hamstring issue. Posh are currently three points off the play-off places.

Prutton's prediction

Shrewsbury slipping up on Tuesday night means that Blackburn are right in pole position now to secure their return to the Sky Bet Championship behind Wigan. They've still got to do their own job and claim the points on Thursday night though.

Peterborough won't be pushovers and still have a decent chance of reaching the play-offs. I think this one will be tight, but I'm backing Blackburn to have enough to win it.

David Prutton predicts: 2-1 with Bradley Dack to score first (20/1 with Sky Bet)
