Blackburn Rovers manager Michael Appleton makes one change to his side by bringing in Bradley Orr in place of the injured Josh King.
In-demand Marcus Olsson starts for Rovers, while Jordan Rhodes and Colin Kazim-Richards lead the line for the hosts.
Sean O'Driscoll also makes just one change to his Bristol City side, who moved off the bottom of the table during the week.
Cole Skuse is ruled out with a knee injury, so Marvin Elliott replaces him in the lineup.
Blackburn Rovers: Kean, Orr, Dann, Hanley, Martin Olsson, Pedersen, Lowe, Murphy,Olsson, Rhodes, Kazim-Richards
Bristol City: Heaton; Moloney, Carey, Fontaine, Cunningham, Kelly, Elliott, Pearson, Anderson, Baldock, Davies
