Fulham v Blackburn Rovers: Match Preview

by Pat McGatt. Published Wed 25 Nov 2009 10:48

Both Fulham and Blackburn are eyeing a place in the top of half of the table and a win for either side tonight at Craven Cottage will secure it.

The Cottagers are presently one point and one place behind Rovers who beat local rivals Bolton Wanderers 2-0 at the Reebok.

Roy Hodgson's men had been on a fine run of form, unbeaten in five outings, but this was halted by last weekend’s 1-0 loss to Birmingham.

Hodgson is to decide whether or not to plunge Andy Johnson and Danny Murphy straight back into the action after just returning from injury lay-offs.

Damien Duff and John Pantsil are set to be recalled to the side after starting on the substitutes' bench at St Andrews, although striker Diomansy Kamara (knee) is out for at least a fortnight.

Blackburn boss will miss the game as he prepares to undergo minor heart surgery.

Rovers had lost all five of their previous away games before beating Bolton and will be looking to build on that result away from home.
