Benjani set for debut

Blackburn boss Sam Allardyce could give a debut to former Manchester City striker Benjani Mwaruwari in the Barclays Premier League clash at Eastlands. The Zimbabwean was released by City at the end of last season but earned a one-year contract at Rovers after training with the squad over the summer. Keith Andrews (groin) remains sidelined while Martin Olsson is a doubt with a shoulder problem but striker Jason Roberts returns to the squad after resolving his differences with Allardyce.
