The defender has warned his team mates that today's game at Ewood Park will be a tough one.
"Blackburn are a team who like to play physical football with a lot of long balls and tackling," said Skrtel.
"It will be a difficult match, but if we play our game, try to keep the ball and score early, I think we will be okay.
"We have to play our game and focus on ourselves - not Blackburn.
"It's very important because it's the Premier League and we have to try to win every game.
"We've had some bad results so far this season, so we need to change that and every game is very important for us."
