Team News: Nouha Dicko leads line for Wolverhampton Wanderers against Blackburn Rovers

By Christopher Dodd, Reporter | 30 August 2014

Wolverhampton Wanderers put their faith in lone striker Nouha Dicko as they welcome Blackburn Rovers to Molineux in the Championship this afternoon.

Wolverhampton Wanderers have opted for a 4-5-1 formation as they welcome Blackburn Rovers in the Championship this afternoon, with Nouha Dicko starting alone in attack.

The hosts will feature a five-man midfield featuring the creative presence of Bakary Sako and Rajiv van La Parra, with holding duties given to box-to-box midfielder David Edwards.

Blackburn's veteran goalkeeper Paul Robinson is due to make his 200th start for the club, but Marcus Olsson and Rudy Gestede have been replaced by Adam Henley and Lee Wiliamson.

The visitors will be captained by Grant Hanley from the back, while Jordan Rhodes will lead his side's attacking line as a lone striker.

Wolverhampton Wanderers: Ikeme; Doherty, Batth, Stearman, Golbourne; McDonald, Evans, Van La Parra, Edwards, Sako; Dicko

Blackburn Rovers: Robinson; Lowe, Baptiste, Hanley, Henley, Marshall, Wililamson, Evans, Conway, Cairney, Rhodes
