Blackburn R. face a trip to Manchester United at Old Trafford on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Rovers will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 24 and win only 8 of the 45 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was just last season, in November 2003, the Red Devils carving out a narrow 2 - 1 victory in a Premiership match.
