Sir Alex Ferguson's Manchester United will take another huge step towards their 10th Premier League title if they beat Blackburn Rovers tomorrow - but Mark Hughes is determined to make life as difficult as possible for his former club.

United have won only once at Ewood in their last seven visits, and the Rovers chief said: "We are not going out there just to make up the fixture..

"It's an important game for us and it's a key game for us, so we will go out there from kick-off with the intention of giving a good account of ourselves.

"We'll make it difficult for them, as we always do, and that's why in the past they've invariably been good games."
