Blackburn Rovers Vs. Manchester United: 1-0 Blackburn At Halftime

Manchester United need only a draw from their match at Ewood Park, but right now even that looks a little bit beyond them. Blackburn Rovers lead their illustrious guests by a score of 1-0 at halftime, and although there has been a spell of United pressure late in the first half it's hard to argue that the hosts' advantage is not well deserved. Brett Emerton was the man who put Blackburn ahead following a neat one-two with Martin Olsen, but the biggest danger to United has been their own goalkeeper.

Simply put, Tomasz Kuszczak is having a nightmare. There have been about six major individual errors from the backup inside the first half, and he's probably getting the hair-dryer treatment from Sir Alex Ferguson as I write this. This would be an embarrassing performance from a League Two player. Anyway, unless Manchester United can score, the league title will come down to the final day - although that said needing one point against Blackpool at Old Trafford probably isn't too big an ask for United.
