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).
