Blackburn manager Sam Allardyce takes on his former club Newcastle in the Premier League for the first time since he was dumped by the Magpies last year.
Blackburn have won just two games at home and their third win could see them climb out of the relegation zone this week. The club have had two approaches from Manchester City for Paraguayan striker Roque Santa Cruz, but have rejected them. However all indications are that the player may leave during January.
Last week’s game against Portsmouth was called off due to a frozen pitch.
Newcastle have become specialists at drawing games after they came from behind to hold West Ham to a 2-2 draw. Andy Carroll scored for the Magpies late on after Michael Owen’s goal was neutralized by Craig Bellamy and Carlton Cole had put the Hammers ahead.
Newcastle are placed 11th on the league table with 23 points from 21 games.
