We said: Blackburn Rovers 1-2 West Bromwich Albion

Blackburn are heading this campaign slightly undercooked due to injuries and departures of key players, but Tomasson's side are still likely to show glimpses of why they have impressed over the past few years. West Brom will field a side who are very used to playing with each other from last season, and we reckon that chemistry will see the Baggies record an opening-day victory in Lancashire. Read more.
