To say Blackburn Rovers isn't a happy club at the moment is something of an understatement. The fans are still deeply unhappy with their owners, international chicken conglomerate Venky's, and the manager who kept them in the Championship last season, Paul Lambert, took the first opportunity he could to jump ship.
Good to see Blackburn's fans have been preparing for today's FA Cup tie: 'Venkys Out' banners on every road bridge on the M65 today.

In his place, Owen Coyle has been doing ... not so great. They're currently in 23rd place in the Championship, with only divisional whipping boys Rotherham United between them and dead last. They also have a few injury worries ahead of today's game: Hope Akpan and Elliott Bennett are both suspended, Sam Gallagher is injured, and there may be a couple of other absentees as well.
On the United side of things, Wayne Rooney and Michael Carrick's mysterious "muscle problems" may rule them out, and Henrikh Mkhitaryan's illness could see him miss the second game in a row. Off the pitch, things should be more fun. United will be taking a large allocation, so there should be plenty of support in the stands.
