MARKUS Olsson is the only change to the Blackburn Rovers side for tonight’s Championship clash with in-form Norwich City at Ewood Park.
The defender, who was rested for Saturday’s disappointing 1-1 draw at home to rock-bottom Blackpool, takes the place of Tommy Spurr, who has a bug.
It means Olsson will go head-to-head with his identical twin brother, and fellow left-back, Martin Olsson, for the first time in his career.
Martin Olsson spent more than six years at Rovers before joining Norwich in a £2.5m deal in July 2013.
The Canaries, who are on a four-match winning run, make two changes to the team that started their 3-0 victory at play-off rivals Watford on Saturday.
Nathan Redmond and Graham Dorrans have replaced Alexander Tettey and Cameron Jerome in Alex Neil’s starting line-up.
Rovers’ bench includes fit-again winger Ben Marshall.
Rovers: Steele, Baptiste, Hanley, Kilgallon, Olsson, Cairney, Spearing, Evans, Conway, Rhodes, Gestede. Subs: Eastwood, Henley, King, Brown, Marshall, Williamson, Duffy.
Norwich: Ruddy, Whittaker, Martin, Bassong, Olsson; Redmond, Howson, Johnson, Dorrans, Hoolahan, Grabban. Subs: Rudd, Turner, Jerome, Andreu, Garrido, Josh Murphy, Tettey.
