The eighth gameweek of the season is brought to a close tonight at Ewood Park, as Blackburn Rovers host Sunderland.

The visitors are bolstered by the availability of their star striker Darren Bent, and out-of-position fantasy favourite Ahmed Elmohamady also starts to the relief of many. Elsewhere, there is only one change from the side that held Manchester United before the international break, as Danny Welbeck comes in for Boudewijn Zenden after not being eligible against his parent club.

The home side make two changes from their previous league outing at the Britannia Stadium, with Martin Olsson and Nikola Kalinic replacing Ryan Nelson and Mame Biram Diouf.

Blackburn XI: Robinson, Salgado, Samba, Givet, Olsson, Nzonzi, Jones, Emerton, Pedersen, El-Hadji Diouf, Kalinic

Sunderland XI: Mignolet, Onuoha, Turner, Bramble, Bardsley, Malbranque, Cattermole, Elmohamady, Henderson, Welbeck, Bent

    Anyone know how many seats Premier League teams are obliged to provide for away fans for league games? (I know it's way more for FA Cup games) And is it the same at every ground?

      About 15%, depending on if there are safety issues.

        I don't think it's 15% across the board.

          There's some whichever is greater rule. All grounds are different, so a club might only be able to offer 12 or 18%, not in between. Don't know how it works from there.

      If I was friends with him on Facebook, I'd suggest that he add Stephen Ireland as a friend.That could be a friendship for life
