Former Blackburn Rovers striker Matt Jansen has hailed the form of David Dunn this season.
Dunn was again amongst the goals in the derby win over Bolton Wanderers on Saturday.
"Dunny's been on fire this season playing in the hole behind the second striker," said Jansen, who believes his former team-mate can force his way into Fabio Capello's World Cup squad.
"If it wasn't for his terrible luck with injuries, I am sure he would already have plenty of England caps to his name. He is that good."
