Watch Blackburn v Sheffield Wed Live Stream Online Preview Prediction LINEUPS Betting Tips Odds on Wednesday 24 August 2011 Live Stream at Justin Tv and ESPN The Carling Cup Blackburn host Sheffield Wednesday in the second round of the Carling Cup on Wednesday looking for a morale-boosting first win of the campaign. Steve Kean's side have lost their opening two Premier League games, against Wolves then Aston Villa, and will be targeting a much needed victory.
League One outfit Wednesday have started the season steadily - taking six points from their opening four league games - but the Owls giant-killed Championship Blackpool in the last round.
Team news
French defender Gael Givet will make his first start this term for Rovers after recovering from a virus and training on Monday and Tuesday.
Grant Hanley is likely to partner Givet in the centre of defence as Kean has confirmed Ryan Nelson will be rested.
Chris Samba and Brett Emerton are close to a return from injury but this game comes too soon, but new signing Radosav Petrovic could make his first start, while defender Bruno Ribeiro may also feature.
Kean may opt to give younger players a chance, with Jason Lowe available again after his spell captaining England at the under 20s World Cup.
Opponents Wednesday are likely to ring the changes for the trip to Ewood Park.
Owls boss Gary Megson gave starts to fringe players for the first round success over the Seasiders and could select a similar squad against Blackburn.
Loan winger Ben Marshall is eligible to feature for the visitors.
