Squad sheets: Blackburn Rovers v West Ham United

The demand of Blackburn Rovers' new owners, Venky's, for more attractive football is unlikely to be met immediately. These are tense times for both clubs, with the visitors three points adrift at the foot of the table and Blackburn fans planning a pre-match protest at the sacking of Sam Allardyce, two years after his appointment. Meanwhile, the dugouts will be shrouded in uncertainty with Avram Grant reportedly facing a win-one-of-three ultimatum to save his job and Steve Kean in temporary charge.
