Welcome to live coverage of today's Premier League clash between Blackburn and Fulham from Ewood Park.

And we're off! Fulham get us started.

The pitch looks pretty good here, and it's pretty cold. Near perfect conditions for a very quick start then!

Ten minutes to go here. Blackburn are very strong at home, but Fulham haven't won on their travels for 20 games in the league now. All the signs point to a Blackburn win here, but Sam Allardyce has lost four out of his five meetings against Mark Hughes managed sides, the other one was a draw.

Blackburn though are always a tricky proposition at Ewood Park, and the experience of Ryan Nelsen and Michel Salgado, who both return after being out through injury will only make them stronger. There should be goals in this game though, both sides have conceded five times in their four games so far.

Fulham will be hoping the two-goal hero from last weekend, Moussa Dembele can keep up his good start in English football in the absence of their talismanic striker Bobby Zamora

FULHAM TEAM: Schwarzer, Kelly, Hughes, Hangeland, Salcido, Duff, Etuhu, Murphy, Davies, Dempsey, Dembele. Subs: Etheridge, Pantsil, Baird, Gera, Riise, Eddie Johnson, Greening.

BLACKBURN TEAM: Robinson, Salgado, Samba, Nelsen, Givet, Grella, Jones, Mame Diouf, Pedersen, El-Hadji Diouf, Kalinic. Subs: Bunn, Emerton, Linganzi, Nzonzi, Mwaruwari, Hoilett, Chimbonda.

Sam Allardyce might think that Blackburn doesn't suit him and that he should be managing the Inter Milans and the Real Madrids of this world, but a win today would give Blackburn Rovers their 1,000th ever win in the top flight.

Mark Hughes has returned to the club where he made his managerial name, this time with his new club Fulham who are so far unbeaten in the league this season.
