Hosts Blackburn had a decent return from the congested Christmas fixtures recording three wins, two draws and just the one defeat; with their most recent game - a 2-1 away win over Leeds on New Year’s Day - leaving them currently occupying 10th place in the Championship.
Rovers will be looking for improved circumstances in the New Year after a turbulent 2013 - this time last year they were without a manager after short-serving Henning Berg had been sacked over the Christmas period and he was followed out the door soon after by his replacement Michael Appleton.
Having seemingly steadied the ship somewhat current coach Gary Bowyer will be hoping his side can spring a surprise on the Premier League title-contenders. When these sides met in the FA Cup Quarter Final back in 2007 it was Blackburn who progressed, finishing two goals to the good then.
Circumstances for the two sides have changed considerably since then, though, and Manuel Pellegrini's men, who've been firing in the goals recently, are overwhelming favourites, at 1/3 for the win in the latest match odds.
