Blackburn Rovers vs Liverpool Match Preview

Blackburn Rovers made an impression in the tabloid media this week when they made a reported bid to sign Brazilian superstar Ronaldinho, they will now look to make an impression on the field as they play host to Liverpool.

Liverpool will be looking for only their second away win of the season, while Blackburn will be hoping to bounce back from a 3-0 defeat at Sunderland last time out.

Blackburn have a lengthy injury list that includes Paul Robinson, Keith Andrews, Phil Jones and Steven N’Zonzi. Nikola Kalinic is also suspended for Rovers, while Brett Emerton is unavailable due to representing Australia at the Asian Cup.

Inspirational captain Steven Gerrard will return for Liverpool, but Jamie Carragher is ruled out. Raul Meireles is an injury doubt and will be assessed ahead of kickoff.

The Rovers registered their first win under new boss Steve Kean when they beat West Brom 1-3 away from home. Nikola Kalinic scored twice, while Mame Biram Diouf grabbed the other goal for the Rovers. Jerome Thomas’s 17^th minute strike was the only high point of the game for the Baggies.  Kean will be happy with the win and will hope that it will mark a turning point for the team as they seek a top six finish this season.
Meanwhile things got bleaker for Liverpool when they lost 1-0 to Wolves thanks to a lone goal from Stephen Ward. The Reds have lacked consistency and this is a major concern for boss Roy Hodgson, whose job is under serious pressure. The return of Steven Gerrard from six weeks out with an injury did little to motivate Liverpool, who have now lost 8 of the 18 games played so far in this campaign.
