Rovers open up against Wolves

lackburn will start the 2011/12 Premier League season with a home game against Mick McCarthy's Wolves. The 2010/11 campaign proved to be a difficult one for Blackburn, with Venkys' takeover of the club, Sam Allardyce's departure and a relegation dogfight providing unwelcome distractions.Steve Kean was able to steer the club to safety - just - but he will need to hit the ground running this season if he is to keep his head off the chopping board and appease demanding owners.That home date with Wolves will see Rovers get the new campaign up and running, pitching them into opening-day action against their final opponents from last season, before they go to Aston Villa for their first away date.Arsenal, Manchester City, Tottenham and Chelsea will all travel to Ewood Park before Christmas while tricky trips to Liverpool and Manchester United wrap up the calendar year.Blackburn will bring the curtain down on the season away at Wigan, and will hope to avoid any final day drama at the DW Stadium.
