Blackburn have some serious assets in their team like Bentley & Santa which give them that cutting edge when compared to their middle-sized competitors. Mark Hughes has been busy last few years bringing quality players for Rovers. However he didn't forget to pay a tribute to Ronaldo ('that guy from Portugal' as he mentioned) and to Fergi's unstoppable squad. On the other side Ferguson praised Rovers too for their attacking footy (I bet he would love Rovers to play openly), playing cleverly his wildcard 'mindgames' in the press conference before the match.

News from Rovers camp say that Dunn may be making a comeback & Jason Roberts will try to shake off his groin injury in time. Utd welcome back Nemanja Vidic after he completed his suspension. If Rio is letter A in the alphabet of Utd. Vidic has to be Z. From start to finish the pair looks to work well together forming an indestrucable wall in front of Edwin Van de Saar. Nani is also ready and I think this is a poised Utd side well aware of Chelsea's misfortune last week.

In my opinion Utd. will try to capitalize on the Blues inefficiency and probably they will show their Champions face today. Pace, unpredictability, fierce shots and a rock solid defense will drive Utd 5 points ahead of Chelsea giving them a fine cushion just before they battle each other at Stamford Bridge. Ewood park is not an easy play to go and get the 3 points but the most in form team in England at this time surely can do.
