Blackburn boss Paul Ince is waiting on the fitness of Brett Emerton and Roque Santa Cruz for tomorrow’s meeting with Liverpool after they both picked up knocks in the Carling Cup defeat by Manchester United.
Zurab Khizanishvili is ruled out with a groin injury, but Chris Samba has recovered from illness and Keith Andrews, who was ineligible for Wednesday’s cup match, returns to the squad.
Vince Grella (calf), David Dunn (Achilles) and Steven Reid (knee) remained sidelined.
Provisional squad: Robinson, Brown, Simpson, Ooijer, Samba, Nelsen, Emerton, Warnock, Mokoena, Olsson, Tugay, Treacy, Pedersen, Roberts, Derbyshire, Villanueva, Santa Cruz, Fowler, McCarthy, Andrews.
