Just the one Premier League to concentrate on this evening, as Blackburn look to battle for points against a Liverpool side desperately looking for a change of fortunes ahead of their FA Cup semi-final with Everton. Our Dugout Discussion chatroom is now open to welcome your real-time chatter as the game unfolds.

The team news from Ewood is interesting and somewhat predictable. While Steve Kean tinkers by bringing in Mauro Formica and Marcus Olsson for Morten Gamst-Pedersen and Jason Lowe, his opposite number has a different agenda with the weekend cup tie in mind. Kenny Dalglish rests Steven Gerrard from his squad, whilst Luis Suarez is shifted to the bench, allowing Andy Carroll and Craig Bellamy to start up front. Glen Johnson returns to the side, with a left-back role looking likely as Jose Enrique also makes way. He sits alongside Jamie Carragher and Dan Agger as Sebastian Coates starts alongside Martin Skrtel.

Follow the action on your screens with one eye on our Dugout Discussion chat via this link.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    Scott Dann was a good defender to have when he played for Birmingham. Not so now.

      No way, as a United fan, I'm loving him dragging Liverpool's reputation down on and off the field!

    Carroll should stick ponytails on his feet, because all he seems to do with the football is head it.

    Can't decide it its worth shuffling my squad for next week. Gonna be able to have 10 players but dont wanna risk any more changes. If i were to sell Dempsey, Bale or Cisse i'd lose too much value and not be able to buy back. Even though Bale hasnt been reeling in the points i can't bring myself to get rid. Worth just riding it out with 10 men?

    Dont know ref bothers putting the yellow card back in his pocket, should just hold it in his left hand, during play.
