Preview: Blackburn vs Everton

02 February 2008 - 11:47

Blackburn have not lost a league game since Christmas and Everton are in fourth battling for a Champions League spot. This will be a superb battle between two ambitious sides.

  • Chelsea defender on his way to Leeds United?
  • Chelsea ready to hand Nicolas Jackson fresh chance
  • <b>Squads</b>

    Blackburn (from): Friedel, Emerton, Ooijer, Samba, Warnock, Bentley, Pedersen, Dunn, Reid, Derbyshire, Santa Cruz, McCarthy, Roberts, Berner, Khizanishvili, Olsson, Rigters, Treacy, Tugay, Brown.



    Everton (from): Howard, Hibbert, Neville, Jagielka, Lescott, Valente, Baines, Arteta, Carsley, Cahill, Osman, Fernandes, Vaughan, Johnson, Anichebe, Van der Meyde, Wessels, Gosling.





    <b>Lescott: it's a big game</b>

    "It's a massive game for us to consolidate fourth spot.

    "Blackburn are pushing for Europe, so it's going to be a big game for us.



    "They've been on a good run, picking up some vital results, so it's going to be another tough game up there."





    <b>Injuries and Suspensions</B>

    Everton will give late fitness tests to Leon Osman (groin injury) and Tim Cahill (hamstring), but Anthony Gardner (leg injury) is definitely out. Ryan Nelsen will definitely miss out.

    A tough battle between these two, but a draw will seem like a fair result for both. If Cahill plays, Everton may get a point.



    Goalscorer: Tim Cahill.
