Dunn makes Rovers return

Blackburn boss Mark Hughes will welcome midfielder David Dunn back from suspension as his side seek to continue their impressive recent form against West Ham at Ewood Park.

But Hughes will be without in-form Aaron Mokoena following his sending-off in the FA Cup win over Manchester City last week, and also has a major doubt over hamstring injury victim Ryan Nelsen.

Georgian Zurab Khizanishvili stands by to deputise. Robbie Savage, Steven Reid, Andre Ooijer and Andy Todd all remain longer-term injury absentees.

Team (from): Friedel, Emerton, Henchoz, Khizanishvili, Nelsen, Samba, Warnock, Berner, Bentley, Tugay, Dunn, Pedersen, McCarthy, Roberts, Nonda, Brown, Derbyshire, Gallagher.
