Blackburn Rovers will host Huddersfield Town at Ewood Park on Saturday in another round of the 2023-24 EFL Championship campaign.
The home side have struggled for results in the league of late and have rapidly fallen down the league standings. They were beaten 4-1 by West Bromwich Albion in their last match and were already three goals down before 20-year-old Jake Garrett scored a consolation goal to record his first league strike for the club.
Blackburn Rovers sit 18th in the league table with 32 points from 27 matches and will be looking to add to that tally on Saturday.
Huddersfield Town have endured an even more difficult campaign than their midweek opponents and find themselves just outside the drop zone. They played out a 1-1 draw against Plymouth Argyle last time out, falling behind just 12 minutes after kickoff before Josh Koroma leveled the scores to end a 17-game goal drought.
The visitors sit 21st in the Championship standings with 26 points picked up so far. They are four points above Sheffield Wednesday in the first relegation spot and will be looking to widen that gap this weekend.
