Team News: DJ Campbell handed Blackburn Rovers start

DJ Campbell earns his first start for Blackburn Rovers since being arrested as part of a spot-fixing investigation.

Blackburn Rovers boss Gary Bowyer has recalled DJ Campbell to his starting lineup for the first time since the striker's alleged involvement in match-fixing.

Campbell was granted bail last month after being one of six players arrested by the National Crime Agency as part of a spot-fixing investigation.

The 32-year-old has made Bowyer's matchday squad in recent outings, but the forward is poised to earn his first starting berth after being named in the side which hosts Leeds United at Ewood Park this afternoon.

Bowyer names three changes in total from Sunday's 3-2 defeat to Birmingham City, with Rudy Gestede and Chris Taylor coming in to start.

Meanwhile, United striker Ross McCormack has been passed fit to start for Leeds today.

The 27-year-old hit his 18th of the season in the 2-1 defeat to Nottingham Forest on Sunday, before a tight hamstring is believed to have forced him off in the closing stages.

However, the Scot appears to have shaken off the knock which had threatened his inclusion and leads the line for Brian McDermott's men.

Elsewhere, Alex Mowatt returns to the first XI having being rested for the two previous fixtures.

Leeds United: Kenny; Lees, Zaliukas, Pearce, Byram; Pugh, Mowatt, Murphy, Austin; Smith, McCormack

Blackburn Rovers: Eastwood; Marshall, Dann, Hanley, Spurr; Taylor, Williamson, Cairney; Campbell, Rhodes, Gestede
