Pick of the stats: Blackburn Rovers v Leicester City

[BBC] Until about a fortnight ago this game had been highlighted as a potential relegation blockbuster. As it turns out though, there will be sighs of relief on three sides of Ewood Park on Saturday (12:30 BST) as Blackburn fans celebrate a successful battle against the drop while in the away end, Leicester supporters will mark their final game in the Championship for at least one season. After their 2-0 win in November, Blackburn could complete their first league double over Leicester City since 1990-91.

Both of Leicester's past 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 past 13 seasons (W9 D3), a 3-2 defeat away to Luton in 2019-20. Leicester have lost their final league match in four of the past 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). [BBC]
