Blackburn R. face a trip to Arsenal at Emirates Stadium on Monday evening, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Rovers will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 31 and win only 8 of the 54 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in February 2007, when they played out a goalless draw in a F.A. Cup match.
