Today’s match is very special for Sunderland’s head coach Tony Mowbray. Mowbray spent more than five years at Blackburn before leaving the club at the end of his contract earlier this year.

Rovers have made a promising start under new boss Jon Dahl Tomasson and are fifth in the table ahead of their meeting with Sunderland. It’s a much better result than most experts had predicted.

Sunderland will still be missing several key players when they face Blackburn. Striker Ellis Simms is making progress after missing five successive matches with a toe injury. But Tony Mowbray said he would still need around a week to be back at full training.

Blackburn Rovers are in good form. Brereton-Diaz and Gallagher are an excellent attacking duo, supported by 18 years-old Adam Wharton who is making huge progress under guidance of Jon Dahl Tomasson.

I think Jon Dahl Tomasson will want to demonstrate that he is a better coach.

Let’s back Blackburn Rovers.

今天的比赛对于桑德兰的主教练托尼-莫布雷来说是非常特别的。 莫布雷在布莱克本呆了五年多，然后在今年早些时候合同结束后离开了俱乐部。

在新主帅托马森的带领下，布莱克本流浪取得了一个很好的开局，在与桑德兰交手前，他们在积分榜上排名第五。 这是一个比大多数专家预测的要好得多的结果。

在面对布莱克本时，桑德兰仍然会缺少几个关键的球员。 前锋埃利斯-西蒙斯在因脚趾受伤连续错过五场比赛后正在取得进展。但是托尼-莫布雷说他仍然需要一周左右的时间才能恢复全面训练。

布莱克本流浪者的状态很好。 布雷顿-迪亚兹和加拉格尔是优秀的进攻组合，在托马森的指导下，他们两人身后的18岁前腰亚当-沃顿正在取得巨大进步。

我认为托马森会想证明他是一个更好的教练。

让我们支持布莱克本流浪。
