Plymouth vs Blackburn lineups
Plymouth
Things have not gone smoothly for Plymouth since they gained promotion to the Championship; they managed just one win in four league matches so far, with a draw and two losses. As a matter of fact, Steven Schumacher's lads have lost three matches in a row; it'll be interesting to see if they can halt their rotting streak against Blackburn today. There are no injured or suspended players for Plymouth ahead of this match.
Predicted lineups: Burton, Hayden, Scarr, Pleguezuelo, Miller, Wright, Butcher, Warrington, Callum, Cundle, Waine.
Blackburn
Unlike today's opponents, Blackburn Rovers have put up a fairly good run of results lately; they are coming off back-to-back victories, with four wins in their last six matches. John Dahl Tomasson's men will look to string up three consecutive wins for the first time in six months. Arnor Sigurdson and Jack Vale are both ruled out for the visitors.
Predicted lineups: Pears, Wharton, Carter, Hyam, Brittain, Travis, Adam, Hedges, Szmodics, Dolan, Leonard.

Player to watch: Sammie Szmodics
Sammie Szmodics had a solid start to his Championship campaign, as he bagged two goals and an assist in his first two appearances for Blackburn this season. To be fair, the Irish player failed to score in his last two matches. However, Plymouth have lost three in a row, and they conceded four goals in their last match. That said, Szmodics will fancy his chances against the newly-promoted team.
