Cole and Yorke reunited for Rovers

Blackburn manager Graeme Souness reunites Andy Cole and Dwight Yorke up front as Rovers look to leapfrog Bolton in Barclaycard Premiership today.

The strike pair have both been subject of speculation since the transfer window reopened but Souness brings them together for the first time in five games to face their local rivals at Ewood Park.

Lining up against them is former Rovers striker Kevin Davies who, despite not scoring in six games, is aiming to make a point against the club that once paid £7m (€10.1m) for his services.
