After the hype and the wait, tomorrow the clarets will face the team we would all just love to beat. In front of a sell out crowd, both managers will be able to pick from more or less full strength squads.

Of course this does not mean that both teams are equal. Mark Hughes, himself a veteran of the derby, has made Rovers a lot harder to beat.

But surely the clarets owe Rovers one, after the heart wrenching defeats of 4 years a go, when we were beaten 2-0 at Turf Moor and 5-0 at Ewood Park.

Burnley boss Steve Cotterill will have some tough decisions to make with Captain Frank Sinclair, Gary Cahill and Ian Moore all pushing for a return to the first team.

We hope you all enjoy the match wherever you are, lets hope it is a feast of football with a great, yet safe atmosphere and of course - UP THE CLARETS!
