Team News

Blackburn
Leicester
  • Ryan Hedges' injury does not look to be serious, but the winger is still set to miss out as Leicester visit Ewood Park to round off the gameweek.
  • Expect Tyrhys Dolan to return to the starting XI for the hosts, while summer signing Arnor Sigurdsson should keep his place.
  • Young defender Callum Doyle suffered a serious injury during the win against Bristol City and is facing a lengthy spell on the sidelines.
  • James Justin will start in his place at left-back on Sunday, while academy graduate Kasey McAteer is in line for a recall out wide.

Prediction

  • Blackburn came out on the wrong side of a 4-3 thriller against newly-promoted Ipswich last weekend as they suffered a brutal defeat at Portman Road. Rovers have lost three of their last four Championship games ahead of the visit of league leaders Leicester on Sunday.
  • Club legend Jamie Vardy converted the deciding spot-kick last weekend as his goal helped Leicester to a 1-0 home victory against an in-form Bristol City side. The Foxes have leapfrogged Preston to the top of the Championship table, picking up 21 points from a possible 24 thus far.
