Blackburn Rovers, Recent FormThe Blackburn Rovers players will be feeling somewhat disenchanted with their inability to pick up any points from their away fixture against Ipswich Town recently, that ended in a 4-3 defeat. In that game they had 59% possession and managed 9 attempts on goal, with 5 on target, compared to Ipswich Town who had 29 attempts and 11 on target.
Having lost 13 goals in their past 6 matches, boss Jon Dahl Tomasson will surely be casting a critical eye over his defensive line, even though his team managed to pick up some points along the way due to the 8 goals they scored. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games but failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.
Losing 4 of their last 6 outings will not be looked on kindly by their manager; however, they did salvage some valuable points by winning the other 2 games.
Goalscorer Sammie Szmodics will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 3 goals in his last 6 league matches for Blackburn Rovers.
Leicester City, Recent FormLeicester City will be very happy having secured 3 points in their last match with a significant 1-0 home win against Bristol City. In that game they recorded 69 % of the possession, with 19 attempts on goal, 7 on target. Their opponents found the target on 1 of their 6 shots on goal.
Manager Enzo Maresca will be reasonably pleased with his team's performances in front of goal, having scored 11 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 4 goals conceded in the same period. In their last 6 away games, they have scored in 5 and kept a clean sheet in 3.
With 4 straight wins in a row away from home, they have started to put together a nice run of form, which has also seen them undefeated in their last 5 away games.
Having scored 4 goals in his last 6 league games for Leicester City, Kasey McAteer will be looking to keep his tally up with a goal in their next outing.
In the last match between these two, goals were scored on both sides, with the game ending in a 1-1 draw.
In their previous 4 encounters with The Foxes, Blackburn have shipped at least one goal in those matches.
Leicester has had a poor run in this fixture when they visit Blackburn, being unable to find a win from any of their last 6 league meetings at Ewood Park.
Blackburn manager Jon Dahl Tomasson has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Niall Ennis (Knee), Sam Gallagher (Calf) and Arnór Sigurðsson (Leg) are all currently out of contention for this game.
There is only really one injury concern for the Leicester manager Enzo Maresca ahead of this clash, with Dennis Praet (Back) missing out, which gives Maresca a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
