It's a trip to Ewood Park this weekend for Boro, who take on Blackburn Rovers in their first away game of the season.

Ahead of the game, we caught up with Elliott Jackson, who covers Rovers for the Lancashire Telegraph.

He gave us the expert insight on what to expect from Blackburn, Tony Mowbray's return and how he's likely to set up take on his former side.

He also discussed former Blackburn and now Boro defender Ash Phillips.
