Preview: Blackburn Rovers v Oldham Athletic

OLDHAM Athletic go to Premiership big boys Blackburn Rovers tonight in the second round of the Worthington Cup with boss Andy Ritchie insisting: ''We are not going just to make up the numbers.''

He added: ''It is an enormous challenge but we will be up for it. Cup competitions are littered with casualties and anything can happen in a one-off situation. We will be going with the intention of winning it.''

The Latics are forced to make one change with midfieder David Eyres replaying injured Tony Carss.
