Yakubu scored twice against Liverpool and will once again offer the Lancashire side's best chance for goals. His 17 league goals have been an astonishing return for a striker in a relegation-threatened side and he's been the difference between a tough season and a terrible one so far. Junior Hoilett, who played in an advanced role alongside him in midweek, will be the other main threat for Rovers. Salgado and Grella are unlikely to be fit for the game but Kean should be able to name a relatively strong and settled side.
Swansea have 39 points, which isn't quite enough to suggest they're completely safe, but with five games to go Brendan Rodgers must be fairly confident. Their home form has been superior to their record on the road, but with four league losses on the bounce since their win over Fulham in mid March, there must be some concern at the Liberty Stadium. Agustien and Bodde are the injury absentees for the Swans.
