Squad sheets: Blackburn Rovers v Swansea City

Dare Steve Kean lose this match against Swansea City, who arrive at Ewood Park seven points and seven places better off than his bottom-placed Blackburn Rovers? Only three wins separate Rovers from Aston Villa in eighth, so there is still time for Kean to pull the club from the mire. But the beleaguered Scot has to start doing so soon and in precisely this kind of fixture. If Brendan Rodgers' troops hand Rovers a ninth league defeat then Venky's, the owners, may have to start considering a managerial change.
