Blackburn Rovers host fellow strugglers QPR on Saturday as both sides look to distance themselves from the relegation zone.

Blackburn Rovers host fellow strugglers Queens Park Rangers at Ewood Park on Saturday with just three points separating the sides at the wrong end of the Premier League table.

A win for Rovers could drag them out of the drop zone, but three points for the R's could open up some much-needed breathing space between themselves and the bottom three.

Gael Givet is suspended for Rovers following his red card during last weekend's crushing 7-1 defeat at Arsenal, while new signing Bradley Orr is expected to line up against his former club.

Rangers have Djibril Cisse suspended for the trip to Lancashire after his dismissal against Wolverhampton Wanderers, and Luke Young is a serious doubt due to a hamstring problem.

Current form:

Blackburn: WLWDLL
QPR: LLLWDL

Possible lineups:

Blackburn: Robinson; M Olsson, Orr, Dann, Hanley; Pedersen, Petrovic, Dunn, Nzonzi; Modeste, Hoilett

QPR: Kenny; Hall, Onuoha, Ferdinand, Taiwo; Derry, Barton, Wright-Phillips, Taarabt; Zamora, Mackie

Sports Mole says: 1-2
