Blackburn – Aston Villa 0-1
vs
14th January – 20:00 GMT
Blackburn
- Blackburn showed poor performance at Eastlands on Monday
- We could see major changes to the team
- They have 9 games (of which 5 were draws) without a Premier League win
- Benni McCarthy is now a doubt after injuring himself and joins Vince Grella and Jason Roberts on the treatment table plus El-Hadji Diouf is suspened
- David Dunn and Croatian Nikola Kalinic probably will lead the attack
Aston Villa
- Aston Villa come into this game after a nine day rest
- They beat 3-1 Blackburn reverse team at their last for FA Cup
- Martin O’Neill has taken this competition seriously and will deploy his best team
- I expect penalty specialist Brad Guzan to start in place of Brad Friedel
- Villa look to have the quality to go to the end and win the, but may be happy with a draw, preferably a scoring one.
MY PREDICTION ASTON VILLA NOT TO LOSE with possible result 1-1
FINAL SCORE 0-1
BEST ODD for X2 - 1.40 from UNIBET
Gabriel Agbonlahor, Richard Dunne and Stiliyan Petrov(at the picture) are to return after being rested for the FA Cup
