Blackburn Rovers face a trip to Tottenham Hotspur at White Hart Lane on Sunday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Rovers will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 32 and win only 12 of the 54 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at White Hart Lane was just last season, in November 2010, when they eased past their opponents in a high-scoring 4-2 thriller, in a Premier League match.
