Downing not expecting easy contest when Liverpool meet Blackburn

Liverpool winger Stewart Downing is expecting a very difficult match when his side heads to Ewood Partk tonight.

The Reds are away at Blackburn Rovers having not won in four league outings and despite their opponent's position on the table (18th), Downing knows it will be a tough contest.

"It will be a difficult game," Downing told the club's official website. "They are fighting for their lives, but we've got to keep concentrating on our game, keep creating chances and we need to start scoring goals and winning games.

"It can be difficult playing team fighting against relegation. They are playing for their futures - they don't want to drop down a division. I've been in that situation with Middlesbrough before and it's not good."
