Manchester United: Is Ewood Park the Title Decider for the Red Devils Again?

Ewood park has always been a tricky ground for Manchester United since the turn of the century. Since the start of the second millennium, Blackburn has won three times (25 percent), United has won twice (16.7 percent) and there have been seven draws (58.3 percent) when the two have met at Ewood Park.

This is the ground that cost United the Premiership title and this is the ground that made Sir Alex Ferguson's signing of Dimitar Berbatov two seasons ago an undeniable mistake, as the Bulgarian squandered his chances in the absence of Wayne Rooney.

But with the noisy neighbors spilling beans all over town, it couldn't get easier for United to retain their dominance in Manchester. As we have seen in the past few weeks, Sir Alex’s bum is indeed squeaky and he sure wants to continue their impressive away form that saw them win 11 times from 15 matches played.

With Wayne Rooney firing 21 goals and the impressive Antonio Valencia assisting 11 times, it seems a little hard for the hosts to keep the visitors silent. The Ecuadorian made us forget about a certain Luis Nani, who couldn't shake his injury woes off.

This will be Phil Jones' first return to the park after signing with United. 

It's not going to be easy for the Red Devils to take a point from a Rovers side that has been rejuvenated since the turn of the new year (let's just forget the 7-1 humiliation at the Emirates, shall we?), one of the only two teams to beat United at home this season—the other being City.

This is a Blackburn side that has got one of the most feared goal poachers of the last decade in Yakubu Aiyegbeni. This is also a side with just five victories at home, currently sitting 17th on goal difference

I hope Sir Alex gives his young defenders enough hair dryer to keep “the Yak” at bay. If all goes well for the Old Trafford outfit, it will break the blue heart of Manchester.
