Premiership Preview - Blackburn v Man Utd

Rovers go into this game on the back of three straight defeats and welcome a red-hot United side gunning for a sixth consecutive Premiership win.

Rovers' woes are in front of goal, scoring just once in the last three league games, whereas United have found the back of the net 12 times in their last four games. They were ruthless away to Bolton, but lowly Southend showed that defeating them isn't an impossible task.

Blackburn will also take confidence from an unbeaten sequence against the Red Devils stretching over five games - including a double last year. Despite that recent good form, Sporting Index reckon Rooney and co. will emerge winners by a one goal margin.

Ewood Park witnessed a 4-3 thriller last season, which makes it all the more interesting that Sporting are predicting only three total goals this time around. With Rio seeing red, and five other bookings in the same game, it could be a fiery affair.

Mike Riley's in charge and Sporting Index predict there'll be six yellow cards.
