  yah man...Blackburn has become more or less a woodoo team for Man U. And Mark Hughes used to play under SAF, so more or less they know how to handle. Some more, I don't recall Blackburn conceding alot of goals, maybe only one or two.
  
  A glimmer of hope is that, if they can start like what they did with Bolton in the opening minutes, then it will be exciting. Hopefully players like Pederson do not perform that day, haha.
  
  Think Man U will still nick it with one goal to nil bah. Afterall, they are sore after losing to a lowly team like Southend.

  United should keep a lookout for Morten Gamst Pedersen as well as David Bentley. These 2 players are instrumental in the defeats last season so United should really close them down as soon as they get the ball.
  
  I'd like to see Rooney scoring again and United to win 2-0.
  
  Cheers.

  Benni Mccarthy is also a good striker, he is on fire for BB now. Man U defenders will need to pay heed and mark him tightly.
  
  I think last season results have no bearing for tml matches, but man u will be fired up to want to beat BB to avenge for last season's 2 defeats and also to establish a 3 pts advantage before the 26 Nov meeting with Chelsea.
  
  if man u can establish a 3 pts gap when meeting chelsea, that would be great as they have a great chance to increase to 6 pts at OT.

  Manchester United will not have a better opportunity to end their Ewood Park hoodoo than on Saturday night. The Reds have not won at Blackburn in the league since 1998 and since then Rovers have won three out of five, the other two being draws. However, top of the table United will be licking their wounds following a midweek Carling Cup exit at the hands of Southend United and Mark HughesÂ’ side are ravaged by injuries.

  Blackburn v Man Utd
  
  Mark Hughes puts his unbeaten Premiership record against his old boss Sir Alex Ferguson to the test. Since taking over as Blackburn Rovers manager, Hughes has not lost in three league games against his former side Manchester United.
  
  Blackburn utility man Brett Emerton could return after missing the last three matches with a hamstring strain.
  
  Midfielders Robbie Savage (thigh) and Steven Reid (back) and striker Jason Roberts (metatarsal) remain sidelined.
  
  Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson will field the same side that beat Portsmouth last weekend.
  
  United have no fresh injury problems so only Norwegian striker Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, out for three weeks with a slight hamstring tear, remains absent.
  
  Blackburn (from): Friedel, Brown, Neill, Emerton, Khizanishvili, Ooijer, Todd, Henchoz, Gray, McEveley, Bentley, Tugay, Mokoena, Peter, Pedersen, Nonda, McCarthy, Jeffers, Gallagher.
  
  Man Utd (from): Van der Sar, Kuszczak, Neville, Brown, Ferdinand, Vidic, Silvestre, Heinze, Evra, O'Shea, Fletcher, Ronaldo, Scholes, Carrick, Jones, Giggs, Richardson, Rooney, Saha, Smith.

  Hmm, is it because of the 'O' Levels?
