Match Facts

After their 2-0 win in November, Blackburn could complete their first league double over Leicester City since 1990-91.
Both of Leicester’s last two league meetings with Blackburn have seen them lose 2-0; the Foxes last lost three league matches in a row to Rovers in October 1987, while they have never done so without scoring before.
Blackburn Rovers have only lost their final league match in one of the last 13 seasons (W9 D3), a 2-3 defeat away to Luton in 2019-20.
Leicester have lost their final league match in four of the last six seasons (W2), as many as their previous 18 beforehand (W8 D6 L4).
Leicester are the fifth team to be relegated from the Premier League and Championship in consecutive seasons, after Swindon Town (1993-94/94-95), Wolves (2011-12/12-13), Sunderland (2016-17/17-18) and Luton (2023-24/24-25).
