Blackburn Rovers vs Leicester City Predictions

• Leicester have won all four of their Championship away games this season
• Blackburn have lost three of their last four league games amid a worsening injury crisis
• Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall has scored two goals in seven starts this season and is averaging 3.3 shots per 90 minutes – the most of any Leicester player

Leaders to leave Ewood Park with all three points

Leaders Leicester should come away from Ewood Park with all three points when they take on an injury-hit Blackburn Rovers side on Sunday lunchtime.

The Foxes have been formidable on the road this season, winning all four of their Championship assignments and will show no mercy on a Rovers team that have slipped into the bottom half.

Without winger Ryan Hedges, who joined Sam Barnes, Sam Gallagher and Niall Ennis on the sidelines last weekend, it is hard to see how Jon Dahl Tomasson’s side can hurt the division’s best defence – even if Leicester will miss left-back Callum Doyle.

Foxes may do it by the minimum scoreline

Enzo Maresca’s system appears to be almost as robust as his former mentor Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City side in that the team can handle the loss of one or two regulars.

But Rovers have really struggled as the injuries have bitten in recent weeks, losing three of their last four league games. A midweek cup win against a much-changed Cardiff side will probably not reverse their backward momentum enough to stop the Foxes winning their fourth league game on the bounce.

Leicester could be forced to grind out the win against a team intent on staying in the game, but Blackburn have found ways to score in their last two defeats. Five of the visitors’ seven wins this season have been by the minimum margin with three 2-1 victories already recorded.
