BLACKBURN youngster Keith Treacy makes his full Premier League debut this afternoon for the visit of in-form Fulham.
The winger has been given the nod in place of Steven Reid (knee), with the versatile Brett Emerton expected to move into the heart of midfield.
Andre Ooijer has recovered from a hamstring strain to be named on the bench but boss Paul Ince keeps faith with last weekend's back four, despite their four-goal hammering to Arsenal.
Robbie Fowler is named on the substitutes bench as Ince maintains his attacking principles, while Benni McCarthy is not included in the 18.
Andrew Johnson and Bobby Zamora start in attack for Fulham as former Rovers boss Roy Hodgson looks to continue the Cottagers' impressive start to the campaign.
BLACKBURN: Paul Robinson, Stephen Warnock, Christopher Samba, Ryan Nelsen, Brett Emerton, Roque Santa Cruz, Morten Gamst Pedersen, Keith Andrews, Danny Simpson, Keith Treacy, Jason Roberts.
