Two Nigerian internationals, Yakubu Aiyegbeni and Peter Osaze Odemwinge will lock horns this weekend when their two English clubs Blackburn Rovers and West Brom  clash in a Premier League game this weekend.

Blackburn will use the disappointment of Monday’s defeat by Manchester United to spur them on when they travel to Hawthorns on Saturday. Rovers held their own until the final nine minutes only to concede two goals, which saw them slip back into the Barclays Premier League relegation zone.

Improved form from fellow strugglers Bolton, Wigan and QPR has upped the ante heading into the final few weeks of the season, but Rovers defender, Bradley Orr is confident they have what it takes to survive. He told Rovers Player:

“For 80 minutes we more than matched the best team in the country but the last 10 minutes the goal went in and we let our heads drop, which is disappointing, but there’s so many positives to take into the West Brom game on Saturday.

We haven’t got time to sulk, we’ve got to react in the right manner. It’s a positive camp, we’ve got a good dressing room from the manager down to the tea lady.
