Player to watch – Yuki Ohashi

Yuki Ohashi scored his fifth Championship goal of the campaign in Blackburn’s 2-2 draw with Sunderland on Boxing Day and the 28-year-old could be a threat again on Sunday.

Ohashi is a potential match winner

Ohashi hadn’t scored in the Championship since September when he bagged a goal against Sunderland on Boxing Day and the Japanese forward should have a kick in his step this weekend having ended his dry spell.
