While COVID-19 has brought about irregularities in Championship fixtures, Blackburn Rovers and Huddersfield Town continue their campaign at Ewood Park on Sunday.

Blackburn Rovers sit third in the league table with 45 points from 24 games. They are level on points with Fulham in second place, although the Cottagers have a game in hand and are just four points behind Bournemouth at the top of the table.

Huddersfield Town have hit good form of late and are also in the race for promotion. They picked up a hard-earned 1-0 win over Nottingham Forest last time out and have now won their last three games on the bounce.

The visitors sit sixth in the Championship standings with 39 points. They will look to win on Sunday in a bid to move further up the table.
