Blackburn Rovers
vs
Aston Villa
Match Schedule:
Date: September 26th
Time: 14:00 (GMT)
Villa have a good recent record at Ewood Park. Last season they won 2-0, their third successive victory there, thanks to goals from James Milner and Gabriel Agbonlahor. And they are in good form, winning four Premier League games in succession for the first time since January.
Another win would represent their best sequence since April 1998, when they last won five in a row, and only the third time they will have achieved that in the Premier League. Villa, who include Stephen Warnock against his former club, must decide whether to recall Nigel Reo-Coker. Blackburn test Gäel Givet.
Blackburn Rovers (Probable, 4-2-3-1): Robinson; Salgado, Samba, Givet, Chimbonda; Andrews, Grella; Diouf, Dunn, Pedersen; Roberts.
Aston Villa (Probable, 4-1-3-2): Friedel; Cuéllar, Dunne, Collins, Warnock; Petrov; Milner, Sidwell, Young; Agbonlahor.
Referee: Mark Clattenburg. Matches 5. R0 Y17
Last season: Villa 3, Blackburn 2; Blackburn 0, Villa 2.
Stat of the game: Villa have won on their last three visits to Blackburn, scoring eight goals and conceding just one.
