Preview
It’s hard to work out who’s feeling more miserable ahead of this weekend’s game, Blackburn fans or Villa supporters? Some of the Rovers faithful are planning another demonstration ahead of the game as they try to illustrate a vote of no confidence in the owners, Venky’s. Fans have also launched a new share investment scheme in a bid to buy the club.
There is also growing vocal dissent from Villa supporters at the way the team is playing under manager Alex McLeish. The announcement of record losses of £54m and a season-ending injury to top striker Darren Bent have completed a miserable week for the 15th-placed club.
“March looks like being a really important month for both clubs when you look at their relative positions and the fixtures coming up ”
Blackburn have lost three of their last four games and were totally outplayed at Manchester City last week in losing 3-0, but they know a win here would almost certainly lift themselves out of the relegation zone while bringing Villa that little bit closer to the bunfight at the bottom.
Rovers are the only team in the top four divisions in England not to have kept a clean sheet this season and have conceded more goals (59) than anyone else in the Premier League, but Villa’s attacking record might give them hope. I was surprised to learn that with Darren Bent out of the picture it is four months since any of Villa’s available strikers have scored in the league.
March looks like being a really important month for both of these teams when you look at their relative positions and the fixtures coming up. Following this home match against Aston Villa, Blackburn play away at fellow strugglers Wolves and Bolton.
Meanwhile, Villa need a couple of good results quickly to calm fears of being dragged into the relegation dogfight. The trip to Ewood is followed by back to back home games against Fulham and QPR – three key games when you realise they have a tough run immediately after that against Arsenal (a), Chelsea (h), Liverpool (a), Stoke (h) and Manchester United (a).
Blackburn against Villa might not be one of the prettiest games of the season, but it should be one of the most competitive and keenly contested.
MATCH FACTS
Head-to-head
Blackburn have won the last two league meetings between these sides at Ewood Park, having lost the previous three.
However, Villa have won four of the last five competitive fixtures against Rovers, including the last three.
Blackburn
Rovers have lost three of their last four league matches, conceding 14 goals in that period.
They are the only team in the top four divisions in England not to have kept a clean sheet this season. If they concede against Villa it will be the longest streak without a clean sheet in the top flight since QPR’s all-time record of 39 matches in 1968-69.
Only the top six and Norwich have scored more than Blackburn’s 37 goals.
Blackburn have let slip 14 points from winning positions – only QPR (15) have fared worse.
Steve Kean’s side have the worst record in the division against bottom half of the table opposition, earning just 12 points from as many games.
Morten Gamst Pedersen will be making his 250th Premier League appearance.
Aston Villa
Villa are winless in four matches and have only accrued six points from seven matches (W1, D3, L3).
However, Alex McLeish’s side have only lost one of their last seven away games in the league (W3, D3, L1).
They are the only team not to have scored from a corner in the Premier League this season, but they have conceded 11 goals from corners.
Gabby Agbonlahor’s goal against Norwich on 5 November was the last to be scored in the league by any of Villa’s available forwards. Agbonlahor, Emile Heskey, Nathan Delfouneso and Andreas Weimann have since gone a combined 25 appearances without a top-flight goal.
Shay Given made two Premier League appearances for Blackburn early in his career, while Stephen Warnock played 109 league and cup games for the club before an £8m move to Villa in August 2009.
