Recent respective form guides
Blackburn Rovers's dreadful home form has resulted in just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While Rovers have scored 6, a worringly large 10 have been leaked at the other end.
Man. City's away form is none too clever either, seeing them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While the Sky Blues have hit 7 goals, 10 have hit the back of the wrong net.
Blackburn R. are stuck down in the relegation zone of Barclays Premier League with a return of just 17 points from their 19 games thus far. Man. City find themselves struggling down in 15th position in the league having picked up 21 points from their 19 matches.
