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

The Dugout Discussion is open and available right here.

              No but no-one thought he'd get any points either.

                Oh Right..was just on the road Saturday morning and every preview show was basically saying that this could be the game that could help him regain his confidence, which kind of made sense really and I was half thinking whoever had him would clean up...I couldn't believe Fergie dropped him, I guess things were much worse behind the scenes than I thought- as has been proved. Taxi for me!

            Not the fixture, the player. Rooney had much more risk of being benched than, say, Nani.

    Needed 7 from Robinson to draw my H2H in the cup! He managed to get 3 saves (maybe even some BPs on the way).

    I go through on higher rank - like I saw maybe even win if Robinson gets any BPs.

    I also managed to get over 60 this week which Im well happy about without Drogba in the team (0-0 helped me tonight)
