Blackburn Rovers host Coventry City at Ewood Park on Saturday (April 27) in the Championship.
The hosts have endured a largely disappointing campaign as they look to avoid the drop. Blackburn lost 3-1 to fellow relegation battlers Sheffield Wednesday last time out, heading into the break level at 1-1 before their opponents scored twice after the restart to snatch all three points. Blackburn are 19th in the league table with 49 points.
Coventry, meanwhile, have had their struggles as they seek a playoff spot. They lost 3-2 to Hull City after losing on penalties to Manchester United in the FA Cup semifinals, recovering from a three-goal deficit.
The visitors are eight in the points table with 63 points from 43 games and must win to retain hopes of securing playoff football.
