BLACKBURN Rovers' Carling Cup semi final first leg against Aston Villa has been rearranged for Thursday, January 14 at 8pm.

Rovers are in Premier League action at Manchester City on Monday so the only available midweek date was three days later.

Rovers' league game at home to Fulham has been put back to Sunday, January 17 at 3pm to accomodate the switch.

The Carling Cup semi final second leg at Villa Park goes ahead as planned on Wednesday, January 20 at 7.45pm.
