Blackburn Rovers welcome Chelsea FC hoping the Blues will still be nursing a Champions League exit hangover.

Blackburn have made Ewood Park something of a fortress this season, losing just two games in the Premier League.

Rovers are currently 10 points clear of the bottom three in 12th position and will be looking to continue their upward momentum.

They knocked Chelsea out of the Carling Cup in December and will be hoping for another positive result on Sunday.

But Sam Allardyce will be without Paul Robinson for around a month after the goalkeeper was substituted with a torn calf muscle in the defeat to Tottenham.

Jason Brown came on at White Hart Lane and could start against Chelsea, although Mark Bunn has been recalled from his loan spell with Sheffield United to provide an extra option.

Ryan Nelsen (knee) and Lars Jacobsen (hernia) are still sidelined, while Gael Givet (groin) is also out and on-loan striker Franco di Santo cannot play against his parent club.

However, David Dunn came through the encounter against Spurs unscathed and should start again.

Possible starting XIs
Blackburn: Brown, Salgado, Chimbonda, Samba, Olsson, Andrews, Dunn, Emerton, N'Zonzi, Pedersen, Kalinic.

Chelsea: Turnbull, Ivanovic, Terry, Carvalho, Zhirkov, Mikel, Lampard, Ballack, Malouda, Anelka, Drogba.
