BLACKBURN Rovers may have have qualified for Europe after their Worthington Cup Final victory, but the shortest journey they have to make in the Premiership on Saturday now occupies their full attention.
Wanderers, in 17th place on 29 points from 27 games, entertain their fierce Lancashire rivals at the Reebok, with the opportunity to ensure Rovers stay in the drop zone. The visitors have 25 points from 26 games in 18th position.
The BEN's Chief Soccer Writer Gordon Sharrock will be reporting exclusively for this website all week and we have links with the Lancashire Evening Telegraph - our sister paper at Blackburn - to ensure all the breaking news from Ewood Park is covered also.
