Canada youngster Junior Hoilett hopes for a start with Blackburn Rovers in tonight's Carling Cup tie against Nottingham Forest.
The 19-year-old said: "The Carling Cup gives me a chance to work hard and impress and hopefully with that I can get a start in the Premier League.
"It was a poor performance against Everton, but we have to keep our heads up and be strong against Nottingham.
"I expect another tough game. They'll be ready for us, so we'll have to keep focused and give 100%."
