Sports Mole previews the Championship clash between Blackburn Rovers and Brighton & Hove Albion at Ewood Park.

Blackburn Rovers play Brighton & Hove Albion at Ewood Park on Saturday afternoon as they look for their first victory in six matches.

Henning Berg has also seen Rovers fail to register a win at Ewood Park since he was made manager in October.

Berg should be able to call upon midfielder Danny Murphy, who has been absent since suffering a hamstring injury earlier this month.

Brighton manager Gus Poyet will be hoping his team can record their first win in five games after a run of three successive draws.

Poyet is likely to be without Bruno Saltor, Inigo Calderon and Marcos Painter while there is also a doubt over the fitness of Lewis Dunk.

Recent form

Blackburn Rovers: WLLDLL

Blackburn Rovers: Kean; Mn.Olsson, Givet, Dann, Henley; Murphy, Etuhu, Vukcevic; Rhodes, King, Kazim-Richards

Brighton & Hove Albion: Kuszczak; Greer, Dunk, El-Abd, Bridge; Hammond, Crofts, David Lopez, Bridcutt, Buckley; Mackail-Smith

Sports Mole says: 1-1
