Blackburn Rovers and Wolverhampton Wanderers announce starting lineups for Sunday's FA Cup fourth-round tie at Ewood Park.

Blackburn Rovers and Wolverhampton Wanderers have announced their starting lineups for Sunday's FA Cup fourth-round tie at Ewood Park.

Despite the manner of their excellent 2-0 victory against Aston Villa last weekend, Wolves head coach Vitor Pereira has made five changes to his first XI.

The most notable is the return of Joao Gomes, who served a one-game ban in the previous Premier League fixture, with Andre dropping down to the substitutes' bench.

Goalkeeper Sam Johnstone is handed an opportunity between the sticks, while Santiago Bueno takes the place of Matt Doherty in the back three.

Rodrigo Gomes has come into the team at left wing-back ahead of Rayan Ait-Nouri, while Hwang Hee-chan is preferred to Pablo Sarabia in the final third.

New signings Nasser Djiga and Marshall Munetsi have been included among the replacements.
