Man. Utd. prepare to entertain Blackburn Rovers at Old Trafford at tea-time on Saturday, looking to continue an impressive record. The Red Devils are clearly on top, having won 29 and lost only 9 of the 52 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Old Trafford was less than a year ago, in February 2009, the Red Devils carving out a narrow 2-1 victory in a Premier League match.
