Blackburn boss Kean convinced taking advantage of chaos at Man City

Blackburn Rovers boss Steve Kean is convinced they can take advantage of the chaos at Manchester City today.

The under-fire Rovers chief was at Bayern Munich's Allianz Arena on Tuesday as Carlos Tevez refused to come on as a sub.

And he believes City's dressing room may have been 'rocked' by the Argentine striker's mutiny.

Kean, whose side lie 18th in the Premier League, said: "I was at the game and saw City had lots of difficulty with the aggression and tempo of Bayern.

"Then something like that happens with Carlos and it can rock the dressing room a little bit.

"If there is uncertainty, we'll be looking to get on it early on.

"Even before the Tevez distraction, if you go to Bayern and come back with a result like that, it can help us.

"Sometimes it can galvanise a team and they want to get the game out of their systems quickly.

"But if there are other factors, other things going on inside the dressing room, all we can do is go about being as aggressive as we can.

"We'll be looking to grab the game by the scruff of the neck early on."
