SAM Allardyce will take a strong Blackburn Rovers squad to Accrington Stanley tonight in preparation for Sunday's visit of Burnley.

Rovers visit Stanley's Crown Ground tonight for a hastily arranged fund-raiser for the cash-strapped League Two outfit - with several senior players expected to be involved.

As well as chance to help Stanley avoid winding up proceedings, with £308,000 owed to the taxman by October 28, Allardyce sees tonight's game as a chance to give some of his non internationals a run out.

Kick off tonight is 7.45pm, and admission is £10 for adults and £5 for concessions.

Rovers squad: Gael Givet, Jason Roberts, Benni McCarthy, Morten Pedersen, Martin Olsson, Nikola Kalinic, Junior Hoilett, Franco di Santo, Michel Salgado, Philip Jones, Jason Brown, Pascal Chimbonda, Josh Swann, Jason Lowe, Michael Hall, Julio Santa Cruz, Jackson Ramm, Gearoid Morrissey, Andrew Haworth, Marcus Marshall.
