Summary

Aston Villa's last two Premiership encounters against Blackburn at Villa Park have finished 1-0 in their favour and it would surprise few observers if tomorrow's duel ended in similar fashion. Betdirect rate the probability as a 6/1 shot, attractive odds considering Rovers arrive as Gamebookers' 3/1 outsiders.

Villa are Betdaq's even money favourites to win, with the draw priced at 9/4 by internet firm Extrabet, but if Villa can grab the opener, and Gabriel Agbonlahor is 13/2 (bet365) to get it, this is a match from which they should harvest three points. Super-confident punters may even be tempted by bet365's 14/5 for Villa to win - when kicking off with a one goal deficit.
