Houllier wary of Blackburn danger

After struggling to a win at home to Wolves and being held Leicester in recent weeks, Houllier knows that Blackburn will prove troublesome opposition as they seek to tay clear of the bottom three.

Houllier said: "I will say that it is not a good period to be playing a side fighting for survival. You could see that when we played Wolves here and then at Leicester.

"Those teams have, as we have, something very important to play for. It sometimes makes them play with more intent and with more effort."
