The Lancashire-based club are currently third in the table after five matches, and are one of three clubs to remain undefeated in the league so far in 2024/25.

This start has been a far cry from the trouble that Blackburn found themselves in last season, with the club staving off relegation on the final day of the campaign thanks to a Sammie Szmodics double against champions Leicester City.

It will come as no surprise then that Eustace has been linked with the now vacant role at Stoke City, after Steven Schumacher was sacked on Monday morning.

Nevertheless, this has prompted fears from the Ewood Park faithful that they may lose the man that has been behind their unbelievable start to the season.

Stoke have every right to be a fan of Eustace
Blackburn’s opening five matches have been a fantastic advertisement for their young manager, who struggled to have a true impact when he first arrived in February.

Eustace failed to win any of his home games in charge of Rovers last season, a statistic that he quickly put to bed in 2024/25, beating Derby County on the first weekend 4-2 at Ewood Park.
