Team Stats : This fixture has goals in it. You have to go back to 199697
season to find the last time the Reds failed to score at Ewood Park.
Blackburn have scored in every league game since 1946-47. That game
actually finished 0-0. One of only three times that scoreline has happened
away from home in the league.

The Reds are looking to complete their eleventh league double over Rovers.
It be the fourth in the Premiership alone and first since 2003-04.

The Reds are looking for one win to all but guarantee a third placed finish
this season. Blackburn however are looking for a win as they look to secure
European football of some form next season.

Blackburn haven't lost at home since early December when Everton beat them
2-0. However they did draw last time out at home to Wigan.

In all games Blackburn have lost just once in the last eight. The Reds have
won their last six games though which includes three away wins since losing
at Arsenal in mid March.

Player Stats : Harry Kewell will be looking to play his 80th league game
for the Reds.

Jose Reina will be looking to play his 50th game for the Reds. In his 49
games so far he has kept clean sheets in 29 of them. In the remaining games
he has conceded 29 times. Nineteen of his clean sheets have come in league
games alone.

Steven Gerrard will be playing his 50th game of the season for the Reds. He
currently leads the scoring charts for us this season with 19.

Referee : Alan Wiley - has taken charge of 28 league games this season and
shown 85 yellow cards in the process and five Red ones. In four Liverpool
games this year we have won three and lost one. That loss came away from
home and saw Jose Reina sent off.

He hasn't taken charge of Blacburn since the beginning of the season down
at West Ham where Rovers lost and saw Paul Dickov sent off for a wil lunge.

Betting : Liverpool 13/10, Blackburn 7/4, Draw : 21/10
