Blackburn v Spurs preview
Blackburn will be looking to ease their relegation worries against a Tottenham side on a six-match unbeaten run, in a game which can be seen live on Sky Sports 1 and HD1.
Sam Allardyce's side have climbed out of the drop zone in recent weeks but they remain in a precarious position, just two points above third-bottom Newcastle.
Rovers have been unable to find much consistency despite showing signs of improvement, and they will be desperate to embark on a winning streak to ensure top-flight survival.
One problem for Blackburn has been a shortage of goals, with Roque Santa Cruz ruled out since 4th March with a knee problem.
The Paraguayan striker was not allowed to link up with his country for their recent World Cup qualifiers but he has been progressing well in his recovery and could be available for the clash with Spurs.
Allardyce will have to check on the fitness of his other international players such as Andre Ooijer, Morten Gamst Pedersen and Keith Andrews before finalising his squad.
Tottenham will hope to pick up where they left off a fortnight ago as they continue to push for a European place.
The table is still so congested that Harry Redknapp's men will not feel completely safe just yet, but recent results have allowed them to look up rather than down.
Impressive victories over Aston Villa and Chelsea have lifted Spurs to within three points of Wigan, who currently occupy the seventh spot that will almost certainly provide a route into the UEFA Europa League.
Ledley King is likely to play at Ewood Park despite being forced to withdraw from the England squad due to his troublesome knee.
Darren Bent is more doubtful after he limped out of England training earlier this week with a knee injury, so Roman Pavlyuchenko could start after playing twice for Russia over the past fortnight.
Luka Modric played no part in Croatia's win over Andorra in midweek but Redknapp will be keen for the in-form playmaker to take his place in a settled midfield quartet also featuring Aaron Lennon, Jermaine Jenas and Wilson Palacios.
Possible starting XIs
Blackburn: Robinson, Ooijer, Givet, Mokoena, Samba, Warnock, Nelsen, Pedersen, Diouf, McCarthy, Roberts.
Tottenham: Gomes, Corluka, King, Woodgate, Assou-Ekotto, Lennon, Jenas, Palacios, Modric, Keane, Pavlyuchenko.
