Blackburn assistant boss John Jensen, a former player of Saturday's opponents Arsenal, is hoping Rovers can obtain a shock result at the Emirates. The Lancashire outfit are just one point clear of Premier League safety and battling relegation this season having gone seven matches without a win.
But ex-Denmark international Jensen, who spent four years with the Gunners during his playing days is backing Rovers to turn things around.
"Every team, including Manchester United and Arsenal, have spells when they are down and we have had our spell," he said.
"I know the last couple of games we have only got one point but the attitude and performance of the players has been fantastic and for me that is a turning point.
"That is why when we go to London we might get a result down there and then we can start looking upwards.
"We just have to have in our minds we have to fight for the place we are in now (13th).
"We have seen the commitment in training, the sessions have been world class, and so that is why I am not scared we are going to be down there.
"If the training is poor their heads go down and you have a problem and if you haven't won for seven games and you go 1-0 or 2-0 down normally they go 'game over' but it hasn't happened."
Jensen went down in Arsenal folklore after taking 98 games to score his only goal for the club, despite having been on target in the final of the 1992 European Championship immediately prior to his arrival.
The Dane is looking forward to returning to his old club, adding: "You are always going to enjoy it when you play your former club and I am really looking forward to seeing the Arsenal fans and some of the staff I know - I didn't play with any of the players because it was so long ago.
"The fans were great. When you have scored in a European Championship final the fans were looking for a midfielder who would score at least 10 goals in the season and then they bought me.
"You would expect the fans would be on your neck shouting and whistling but the respect I got from them was fantastic and even after two years of not scoring a goal they were still shouting my name.
"When I eventually scored a goal, even though we lost 3-1, the feeling was amazing when I walked off the pitch. I will always remember that day."
