Without being disrespectful to Blackburn Rovers, the focus of this match will be totally on Manchester United as this is their opportunity to go back to the top of the Premier League but obviously Blackburn will want to have their say about that.
Blackburn Rovers are now totally safe from relegation & have a chance to finish as high as 9th so Sam Allardyce will want to finish the season strong & their impressive home for gives them a good chance of doing that.

Blackburn Rovers have won 9 & drawn 5 of their 16 home league games this season & have certainly been incredibly tough to beat at home so will be confident they can do damage to Manchester United’s title bid & get another great home result here.

Blackburn will look to be physical & competitive knowing that the physical & psychological effets of being knocked out of europe will have had a big impact on Manchester United and this is an excellent opportunity for Blackburn to go at Manchester United but it clearly won’t be easy.

Manchester United now have to turn their entire focus onto their push for the Premier League title following their painful exit from europe & how they respond to that will be the key to this match.

Wayne Rooney must be a massive doubt again because of his ankle injury so that obviously presents huge problems to Manchester United & they will look to Dimitar Berbatov to lead the attack & produce the good form he has shown in league games.

Without the distraction of europe, Manchester United must now field the strongest possible team they can & team selection for this match will be fascinating & clearly Alex Ferguson has a few options to think about.

Darron Gibson was very impressive with his energy & drive in midfield on wednesday & he looks a likely contender to carry on alongside Darren Fletcher and those two will be very important in central midfield while it will be interesting to see whether Alex Ferguson goes with Carrick, Giggs or Scholes in alongside them.

Manchester United always try to win every match they go into & that is now what they must do so they will be positive but it will be a tough test to break Blackburn Rovers down & a win is far from guaranteed here.

Blackburn Rovers showed by drawing 1-1 with Chelsea here that they are a match for anybody at home & we expect them to put up another strong home performance but Manchester United’s need for the points is greater & we believe they are worth a bet to show their character & gain three more vital points here.
