Blackburn are in great form...
11-26 Arsenal 3-0 Blackburn
11-19 Man.City 0-0 Blackburn
11-05 Blackburn 4-1 Charlton
10-29 Chelsea 4-2 Blackburn
10-22 Blackburn 2-0 Birmingham
10-15 Liverpool 1-0 Blackburn
10-01 Blackburn 2-0 West Brom
Have been picking up comfortable home wins against sides of similar quality at the minute.
Their defeats have been unlucky too. Chelsea game they made a right game of it going in 2-2 at the break before Chelsea's superior quality killed them off.
Thats 3-0 defeat to Arsenal flattered the Gunners a lot i felt and a draw minimum wouldve been the correct result as Blackburn created a good number of chances.
Momentum and confidence will be high after last nights superb comeback away to Charlton with Blackburn getting 3 goals in final 15 mins to win the game.
Bar a couple of 1-0 wins Everton have been poor on the road and went down 4-0 at WBA last time out so the evens for Blackburn for me looks too good to refuse.

I second that kiko, been looking at it all morning and im trying to swindle 1.9 for Blackburn -0.25 from a personal bookie, but a part of me is thinking that the cup excursions may well take some toll on them this saturday, (and most probably, Cahills hearing will lead to a suspension as he swing an arm irregardless if he came worse off) but a big factor is the form and unit Blackburn are slowly forgeing.
Though they have lost 3 of the last 7 matches (all away mind you), there is no shame losing to the likes of Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool.
I would really like to hear MrM's side to the Everton team at the moment....injuries or what not....
