Blackburn host Blackpool at Ewood Park in the EFL Championship on Saturday, with both sides struggling of late.
Blackburn are currently eighth in the league, two points off the top six. Tony Mowbray's side have only managed to win one of their last six league games. They will look to turn things around with a win against Blackpool on Saturday.
Blackpool are 16th in the league, 10 points behind their opponents. Neil Critchley's side have lost their last two games on the trot and will hope to bounce back with a win against Blackburn on Saturday.
Both sides will be looking to climb up the table with a win and that should make for an interesting matchup.
