Round 30 of the EFL Championship comes to an end at the Swansea.com Stadium, where Swansea City play host to Blackburn Rovers on Saturday.
This will be the second meeting between the sides this season after Blackburn Rovers claimed a 2-1 win back in August’s reverse fixture.
Swansea City failed to find their feet last time out as they fell to a 1-0 defeat at the hands of Luton Town on home turf.
This followed a 2-0 loss at Hull City on January 29 which saw their three-game unbeaten run come to an end.
With 32 points from 27 games, Swansea City are currently 19th in the EFL Championship table, level on points with Hull City.
Meanwhile, Blackburn Rovers were denied a second straight win last time out as they played out a goalless draw with Luton Town.
They have now lost just once in their last 13 league outings, claiming nine wins and three draws in that time.
This fine run of results has seen them surge to second place, picking up 53 points after 29 rounds of matches.
Swansea City vs Blackburn Rovers Head-To-Head
