Blackburn Rovers will host Wigan Athletic at Ewood Park on Monday (February 6) in the Championship.
The hosts have had mixed results in the league recently to slip behind in the race for promotion. Blackburn drew 1-1 draw against Bristol City in their last league game but bounced back with a 1-0 win at Birmingham City in their midweek FA Cup fourth round replay. Blackburn are seventh in the league table with 43 points from 28 games. They will return to the playoff spots with a win.
Wigan, meanwhile, enjoyed a positive return to the Championship but have run out of steam, prompting the dismissal of manager Kolo Toure. They lost 2-0 to Luton Town in their last game, conceding a goal early in either half and failing to muster a response.
The visitors are languishing at rock-bottom in the standings with 25 points from 28 games.
