Blackburn take on Manchester City in a high-voltage six-pointer Premier League match on Sunday in a game that is arguably a must-win situation for both teams. Sign up with us here on Live Sport Network to watch all the soccer live online.

Allardyce has made it clear he will fight to keep the prolific striker at Ewood Park, but with former manager Mark Hughes keen on Roque Santa Cruz joining him at Man City, it looks a tough proposition. The immediate consideration for Big Sam will be the need to come out unscathed from the hectic Christmas fixtures.

Blackburn are currently on the 19th spot on the league table with 16 points from 18 games played prior to their Boxing Day outing against Sunderland.

Manchester City are also sailing in the same boat as their hosts having slipped into the relegation zone with a 2-1 loss to bottom huggers West Brom last week. The club have promised time for boss Mark Hughes to settle down and guide the team out of the current quagmire.

A win at Blackburn will go a long way in allowing Hughes time to identify his best players and settle on the best starting 11. Hughes will be relieved to note that Robinho is back to match fitness after recovering from his ankle injury. However Benjani is surely out of this tie after sustaining a thigh strain. Hughes is also worried about the fitness of Darius Vassel, who is struggling with a toe injury. Man City are currently 18th on the Premiership table with 18 points from 18 games.
