Blackburn R. play host to Wigan Athletic at Ewood Park on Monday evening, aiming to preserve their record of never having lost at home to the visitors. The Rovers have drawn both of the previous games against their opponents, however.
The last time the two teams met at Blackburn R. was back in January 1998, over five years ago, when they eased past their opponents in a high-scoring 4-2 thriller, in a F.A. Cup match.
