Player to watch – Yuki Ohashi (Blackburn)
Yuki Ohashi has played a key role for Blackburn this season – finding the net 4 times in 9 games and helping them score critical points. He is expected to start as the target man again this Saturday, and he will be tough to contain for Swansea.
That said, Ohashi could be one to watch as an anytime scorer for this match!
