Leicester City will be looking to open up a three-point gap at the top of the 2023-24 Championship standings when they make the trip to Ewood Park to face Blackburn Rovers on Sunday.
Having suffered a Carabao Cup exit after a 3-1 loss to Liverpool in the mid-week, the Foxes will look to extend their winning run in the league to four games after beating Southampton, Norwich City and Bristol City.
On the other hand, Blackburn booked a spot in the Carabao Cup round of 16 courtesy of a 5-2 victory over Cardiff City. However, the hosts will be keen to return to winning ways in the league following back-to-back losses to Sunderland and Ipswich Town.
