Blackburn Rovers vs Everton – (Saturday 3.00pm)

Fascinating battle in prospect here with Blackburn Rovers now safe & a very solid home record to defend taking on a bang in form Everton side looking for three points so should be a good, competitive contest.
Blackburn Rovers have based their season entirely on their home form with 33 of their 43 points coming at home & only 2 defeats in 17 home matches clearly indicates Blackburn’s strength at home.

In recent weeks Blackburn Rovers have held Chelsea & Manchester United to draws here & they will certainly believe they can do at least the same here although obviously this will be a tough challenge given the confident form that Everton are in right now.

Blackburn Rovers are not the most fluent attacking side but they are dangerous & we expect them to be more positive in this game than they were against Manchester United last weekend with set-pieces likely to be their biggest threat again.

Despite failing to convert three 2-1 leads into victories recently against Birmingham City, West Ham & Aston Villa, Everton have been playing very well & certainly arrive at Ewood Park in confident & determined mood with David Moyes wanting as many wins as possible before the end of the season.

Everton are chasing a potential european place & they need to win every remaining game to achieve that so we really do expect them to be very positive in this match.

This is a tough game to call with the local rivalry, both teams confident, Blackburn very strong at home & Everton strong anywhere at the moment & admittedly a scoring draw is a very tempting option but we feel Everton are a value punt to get another massive away win here with Cahill again likely to be the inspiration.
