Blackburn Rovers striker Sam Gallagher is looking forward to seeing Tony Mowbray for the first time since leaving Ewood Park. The Sunderland head coach will take on his former side in the opposite dugout for the first time since departing earlier this summer.
Rovers could move top of the league by securing back-to-back wins for the first time since August but Mowbray will be out to put a dent in those aspirations. The Black Cats head coach signed Gallagher from Southampton back in 2019 after a loan spell with the club.
The 27-year-old hopes Mowbray will receive a good welcome, admitting the contract situation left the club deflated after missing out on the play-offs last season.
