Blackburn face a trip to Leicester City at Walkers Stadium on Sunday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Rovers will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them ending up on the losing side in more than half of the games played between the two.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was just last season, in March 2002, the Foxes carving out a narrow 2 - 1 victory in a Premiership match.
