Blackburn prepare to entertain Liverpool at Ewood Park on Saturday evening, and hold the advantage on previous meetings between the two. Rovers have the slight edge, having won 24 of the 56 games compared to Liverpool's 12 wins.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Ewood Park was just last season, in August 2002, where the two teams cancelled each other out in an enthralling 2-2 draw in a Premiership match.
