Blackburn R. pack their bags to visit Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park on Saturday evening, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Rovers will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them ending up on the losing side in more than half of the games played between the two.
The previous match played between the two at Selhurst Park was more than three years back, in December 2000, with Blackburn R. inflicting a narrow 2 - 3 defeat upon the Eagles in a League Division One match.
