Leicester City pack their bags to visit Blackburn Rovers at Ewood Park on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Foxes will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 23 and win only 8 of the 44 games.
The previous match played between the two at Ewood Park was within the last three years, in October 2001, when they played out a goalless draw in a Premiership match.

Recent respective form guides
Blackburn Rovers's disastrous home run has meant they have managed only 2 draws from the last six matches. While Rovers have scored 6, a worringly large 11 have been leaked at the other end.
Leicester City's away form is none too clever either, seeing them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While the Foxes have hit 11 goals, 14 have hit the back of the wrong net.
Blackburn R. are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 34 points from 33 matches. Leicester City are stuck down in the relegation zone of Barclaycard Premiership with a return of just 28 points from their 33 games thus far.
