However, they seem to be hitting form at a time when teams above them are struggling to find consistency.

The Irish Footballer- Corry Evans is all set to return to the game of football by participating in the Premier League match against Tottenham on the 10th of February, 2014. Gary Bowyer (boss of Blackburn Rovers) was elated to announce the return of Corry Evans and Bowyer was as excited as he would have appeared when he was signing a new footballer.
For almost four months, Evans did not get a chance to play because he had sustained a serious ankle-ligament injury while he was representing Northern Ireland in the qualifier matches of the World Cup on the 15th of October, 2013 in Israel.
Corry Evans has got back to 100% fitness and he might feature for his club Blackburn Rovers in their upcoming championship match against Middlesbrough.
Evans had done some harm to his ligament while on national duty last year and since then; he had been spending time on the sidelines.
However, the 23 years old midfielder hasn’t played much football in the last 15 weeks or so and thus, to ask him to make an appearance for the first team straightaway would be a gamble.
David Moyes has said he will only make new signings in January should he be able to bring in players who can make a lasting impact at Manchester United.
"The thing about this club is that we always think long term," he told reporters.
"I am thinking how we are going to have a side that is going to be competing in the Champions League and right at the top end of the Premier League for four or five years.
When playing with his national side Northern Ireland Corry Evans, suffered from an ankle injury which will keep him unable to make any appearances for Blackburn Rovers in what remains of this year.
The 23 years old midfielder does not have any desire on making his return faster as it may just worsen the injury and thus keeping out of the playing grounds even longer.
Evans said: “You have to make sure with this exact ligament injury you are fully healed before you come back.

Rhodes has been in great form this season. He is currently the joint leading goal scorer in the ongoing Championship. He has found the back of the net 9 times in his 9 appearances for Blackburn this season. The Huddersfield Town striker James Vaughan has also scored the same no. of goals.
Corry Evans is a professional football player from the Northern Ireland, who is an international player for his national team and plays as a centre back or midfielder for the Premier League club Hull City AFC.
