\"Feedback\" Andrew Sperling, an Everton fan, says: “I think it is now proving to be a very bad decision for Blackburn to have gotten rid of Allardyce. He had the right players to suit the football they played and to try to change a philosophy halfway through the season is a dangerous game. I fear for Blackburn and actually think they could be in bigger trouble than Steve Kean thinks they are in.” I think they’ll go down myself and agree with you re Allardyce as well as Kyran’s views on Pedersen – I saw him scored some beauties from wide on the right earlier in the season!<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Feedback\" Steven says: “Mancini has put out an attacking side. I can see a big win for Manchester city. Yaya Toure Bagging a goal or two to his name.”<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Feedback\" Kyran Newbold says: “Im a Rovers fan with little confidence in Kean, but it seems that he is going to forget about the attractive football and just do anything to win. Benjani and Roberts will provide good strength and think that is a logical choice by Kean with City having a strong back 4, but he should be getting Pedersen on the pitch who was fantastic earlier in the season and will provide the pace we will be missing without Junior Hoilett. Me has a feeling that Rovers will snatch it through a Dunn penalty in the 76th minute, and that should knock the stuffing out of City \ud83d\ude09 COME ON YOU ROVERS!”<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Feedback\" Gordon in Philadelphia says: “Hoping for a Rovers win, but Roberts is in again, so it will have to be an own goal. Gone to ring the SAMaritans.”<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Feedback\" Cian says: “Just saw the line-up, Very strong line-up for both sides! I hope it will be…………………3-2 to Blackburn with:Pedersen,Roberts+Benjani, Silva+Balotelli for City.”<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Feedback\" Luke from Birkenhead (Liverpool fan) says: “I hope for a Blackburn win tonight or a high scoring draw … i believe Liverpool can finish 4th, and i believe Blackburn will go down and i hope they do i don’t think they have the quality to be in the prem or a quality manager.”<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Sky Fancy a bet? Sky Bet go 3\/1 for a Blackburn victory, 12\/5 for a draw and 10\/11 for a Man City win. I think City will win but Blackburn will put up a fight so 2-1 to Roberto Mancini’s men with Silva to score first which pays a handsome 40\/1! I got the Villa – Stoke 1-1 and Cheslea’s 3-0 win over West Ham on Saturday so can I make it three correct scorelines in a row? Send your views \/ predictions for tonight’s game to steve.pass2@bskyb.com and I will post up the best.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Feedback\" ‘AdZ’ says: “Well i had optimism for this game, but why has steve kean started both roberts and benjani?? who both fail time and time again to impress and leave rochina on the bench who lookd very good last time out? pedersen also on the bench? he has no idea what hes doing, i dont see rovers winning now, city 2-0 maybe 2-1 if the ball bounces off a post hits benjani in te face and treacles in he net lets hope ;)” Cheers for your view mate, i have to say I fancy a City win.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Feedback\" Jono (aka, Kiwi Rover) says: “I am hoping for a Blackburn win as I feel we are 3 months overdue for a win. I think that it will be a tense affair with Blackburn nicking it by a goal. 1-0 to the Rovers and a result that will relieve the pressure on Steve Kean, who has had a less than impressive start to life as a manager in the premier league. Here’s hoping for an inspired performance from the Rovers!!!!!!”<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Feedback\" Dave in Chesterfield says: “Just heard on Sky Sports News Rovers have gone for “pace and power” with Roberts and Benjani, more like Hale and Pace. I’m a Rovers fan but Kean has no clue and Kalinic should be starting, unfortunately I see us losing 2-0, hope I’m proved wrong.” Liked the Hale and Pace Dave!!<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Feedback\" FIRST VIEW – Harry has e-mailed in to say: “I think Blackburn will produce a shocking result and win 3-1 coming from behind and scoring in the 80th minute and 90th minute.” That would be a shock Harry, but you never know!<\/span><\/p>\n

Referee – Andre Marriner (W Midlands)<\/span><\/p>\n

Teams – Man City: Hart, Zabaleta, Kompany, Lescott, Kolarov, De Jong, Barry, Adam Johnson, Toure Yaya, Silva, Balotelli. Subs: Taylor, Milner, Wright-Phillips, Dzeko, Vieira, Jo, Boyata.<\/span><\/p>\n

Teams – Blackburn: Robinson, Salgado, Samba, Phil Jones, Givet, Emerton, Dunn, Jermaine Jones, Olsson, Mwaruwari, Roberts. Subs: Bunn, Kalinic, Formica, Pedersen, Rochina, Hanley, Diouf.<\/span><\/p>\n

Welcome to Ewood Park where Blackburn host Manchester City in a North West derby crucial to their prospects at differing ends of the table. Can Rovers win to boost their survival hopes or will City taste victory to strengthen their grip on fourth and the last UEFA Champions League place?
