[Alan75]

Rovers have named a squad of 18 players for tomorrows FA Cup tie at Villa Park.

Friedel, Neill, Taylor, Johansson, McEverley Thompson, Flitcroft, Tugay, Danns Cole, Yorke, Kelly. Ostenstad, Todd, Dunn, Gillespie, Curtis and Jansen.

There is a fitness doubt regarding Thompson, (groin muscle) and he  will have tests tomorrow morning before the team is announced.

Villa have not yet named their squad, but reports suggest that they will be unchanged from the team beat Bolton on New Years Day.

The man in the middle tomorrow is Jeff Winter, who will also preside over Blackburns home leg in the Worthington Cup against Manchester United.

Tomorrow will allow fans to see their favourite old boys, Rovers fans - Alan Wright who left Rovers for Villa  in 1991, and Villa fans - Dwight Yorke who left Villa for United in 1998.

Actually Alan Wright joined Rovers in 1991 (from Blackpool), and left for Villa in 1995 (10th March to be specific).

Alan I thought you were the main anorak here?
