Hmmm im not too sure Was as due to this being a 2 legged affair as if Man Utd could get a result similar to Arsenal's yesterday i think they would fancy their chances 2nd leg with full side out.

Howard, Brown, O Shea, Richardson, Ronaldo, Fletcher, Saha and Solksjaer. I reckon they will all start and if i was Blackburn i wouldn't be very worried to be honest.

The team will most likely change from Saturday but i don't imagine it will be anywhere near full strength and Sir Alex will rotate his squad again.

Blackburn have turned into a bit of a bogey side for United going unbeaten against them in their last 4 games now.

Man.Utd 1-2 Blackburn
Man.Utd 0-0 Blackburn
Blackburn 1-1 Man.Utd
Blackburn 1-0 Man.Utd

I do think that Hughes has a side capable of causing this United side plenty of trouble compared with many other clubs.

Not allowing me to copy team news for Blackburn.

Anyways Hughes has a complete clean bill of health.

Sergio Peter is expected to feature at some point after putting in a great display against QPR at the weekend.

Steven Reid returns and he has taking on a new lease of life this season. On the goal sheet recently recently and supporting the attack very well similar to how Pederson has been doing for them this season.

Moekena is back too after returngin from South Africa and he wll add that extra bit of steal and security to the side should he go straight into the line up.

Blackburn are on a really good run at the minute winning their last 5 games on the bounce so the momentum is certainly with them.

Bellamy should start which is a big bonus as he caused United a ton of problems at OT with his pace and skill.

Whoever plays upfront though im happy with as the three strikers are all on form at the moment with Bellamy(9 goals), Dickov(7 goals) and Kuqi(6 goals).

It will be a tough ask for Blackburn to overcoe United but with United happy to come away with a point or a narrow defeat the smart money should be on Blackburn.
