Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Leicester City & Blackburn Rovers face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the FA Cup. All the pre-match information is available here!

It's no vacation for neither Leicester nor Blackburn Rovers as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

Leicester City form and stats

Last season, Leicester City's FA Cup journey ended in the 4th round.

With 3 Premier League wins, 3 draws and 6 defeats from their home games, Leicester City are certainly not brimming with confidence.

Stress levels are on the rise for Leicester's attacking players as they have now played 189 minutes without scoring in a league game. Barnes was their last goal scorer.

Leicester City suffered an unexpected loss 0-1 against Arsenal in their previous match, also a home game. Midfield player Dewsbury-Hall got a match rating of 7.11 in that game, the max score being 10. Dewsbury-Hall dribled past the opponent 3 of 3 times.

Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Manchester United (0-3).

There will be little rest for Leicester after this match as they are travelling to Southampton for a Premier League game in only four days.

Leicester City are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 15 goals in 12 games. 14 goals have been conceded.

Blackburn Rovers form and stats

Last season their FA Cup adventure ended in the 3rd round.

6-3-9 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Blackburn Rovers in their Championship matches away.

It's the second away game in a row for Blackburn Rovers, but there's smiles all around after the 3-1 victory versus Queens Park Rangers last time out. The attacker Gallagher got a match rating of 8.12 in that game. Gallagher scored two goals.

That result followed a home victory 1-0 versus Blackpool in the Championship.

A new game in only four days for Blackburn Rovers, the Championship home match versus Sheffield United. Busy days.

The attacking power of Blackburn when travelling is not overwhelming with 16 goals scored from 18 league matches away. Blackburn Rovers have conceded 25 goals in these away matches.

Head 2 Head

Numbers for the prior five meetings between these two teams are: two wins for Leicester, two draws and one win for Blackburn Rovers. Over 2,5 goals: three times; under 2,5 goals: two games.
