Team news
Leicester should be able to call on Stephy Mavididi who played 15 minutes at Millwall having spent time out with a hamstring injury. However, manager Marti Cifuentes will pick from the same backline with defenders Ben Nelson and Harry Souttar both long-term absences.
Blackburn have been without Todd Cantwell for the last three games due to a knee issue which occurred in the draw with Stoke. Jake Garrett, Hayden Carter and Moussa Baradji are also sidelined due to injuries.
The stats
Leicester were on an eight game unbeaten run (winning three and drawing five) before losing the last two matches in the Championship.
Blackburn have won their last two trips to the King Power Stadium, beating the Foxes in the Championship in May 2024 and the FA Cup in February 2023.
The Foxes have failed to score more than one goal in six of their last seven matches.
Blackburn have won more games away than at home this season though they lost 2-0 at Coventry and 3-0 at Charlton in their most recent matches on the road.

Prediction
Leicester may have found wins hard to come by this season but they had been resolute and difficult to beat before the last two matches.
Losing at Millwall following an away defeat by Hull saw the team drop to tenth but a home match with Blackburn represents an opportunity to climb up in and around the top six.
Blackburn will take confidence from the victory over Southampton which ended the Ewood Park hoodoo but have failed to win two games on the bounce this season.
Heading to the King Power Stadium, Rovers are the underdogs on Saturday and face a Leicester side determined to avoid three losses in a row.
There likely won’t be loads of goal action, with Leicester failing to score more than one goal in six of their last seven matches. Add to that the fact Blackburn have only conceded six on their travels and it’s set to be a low-scoring encounter.
Leicester can beat Blackburn at home to get the season back on track but they may do so scoring under 2.5 goals.
