Blackburn R. face a trip to Sunderland at The Stadium of Light 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 41 and win only 14 of the 67 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in January 2009, when they played out a goalless draw in a F.A. Cup match.
