History of the Blackburn Rovers v Manchester City fixture

Blackburn R. prepare to entertain Manchester City at Ewood Park on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Rovers are clearly on top, having won 34 and lost only 14 of the 59 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Ewood Park was less than a year ago, in December 2008, where the two teams cancelled each other out in an enthralling 2-2 draw in a Premier League match.
