Ollie predicts

I'm watching this one in the studio, and I'll go for a surprising Blackburn win. I think losing their manager would have shaken Wolves.

I don't understand why they sacked Zenga. I think it's the modern way football clubs are sold on.

It hasn't worked out how they wanted so the Chinese owners have got rid of him but you have to ask, what can you do in that sort of time? 

OLLIE PREDICTS: 1-0 with Ben Marshall to score first (Sky Bet odds 50/1)
