Eric Black confident ahead of Man City clash

Blackburn Rovers assistant manager Eric Black believes that his side can pull of a shock when they face Manchester City on Saturday.

Blackburn Rovers assistant manager Eric Black has claimed that his side can pull off a shock when they travel to the Etihad Stadium to take on league leaders Manchester City on Saturday.

City have a 100% record at home in the league so far this season, but Black believes that Rovers could repeat the performance that saw them beat Manchester United at Old Trafford on New Year's Eve.

"The team have gone to Manchester United and got a fantastic result," Black said.

"The records would suggest that it is going to be a difficult task, but records are there to be broken."

Blackburn currently sit 17th in the Premier League table, only out of the relegation zone on goal difference.
