Blackburn are coming to the boil. Despite losing 2-1 away last weekend to the much improved Sunderland, they were clearly the better team.
New boy Chimbonda should start and Benni McCarthy returns. Teams managed by Big Sam are typically strong at home.
West Ham had a tough match mid week for many reasons. The extra time victory may have taken its toll on players such as Scott Parker, Carlton Cole et al. The crowd trouble and ensuing coverage may mean that the players minds may have been elsewhere in training this week.
Bet: 4pts Blackburn @ 5/4 (Boylesports, Betfred, Paddy Power, Sky Bet, Eurobet)
