• Fixture: Leicester vs Blackburn

• Date: Saturday, 01 November 2025

• Kick-off: 12:30 GMT

• Venue: King Power Stadium

Leicester's recent form has been inconsistent, with two losses, two draws, and one win in their last five matches. They will be looking to exploit their home advantage against Blackburn, who have struggled at times, losing three of their last five games. Leicester's midfield, led by Harry Winks, could control the tempo of the game, potentially creating chances for Jeremy Monga and Jordan Ayew to score.

Blackburn, on the other hand, have shown they can be competitive, as evidenced by their recent win against Southampton. However, their form can be a concern, and they will need to be more defensively solid if they are to get a result at Leicester. The battle between Leicester's attacking midfield and Blackburn's backline could be crucial in determining the outcome of the match.

Leicester's recent form has been mixed, with two losses, two draws, and one win in their last five matches. Their most recent defeat was a 0-1 loss away to Millwall, which followed a 1-2 loss at Hull City. These results suggest that Leicester need to improve their defensive solidity, especially away from home. However, their home form, with a draw against Portsmouth and another against Wrexham, indicates they could be more competitive in the upcoming match against Blackburn.

• Loss: 0-1 vs Millwall (A)
• Loss: 1-2 vs Hull City (A)
• Draw: 1-1 vs Portsmouth (H)
• Win: 3-1 vs Swansea (A)
• Draw: 1-1 vs Wrexham (H)

Blackburn have had a challenging run of form, with only one win in their last five matches. Their most recent victory was a 2-1 home win against Southampton, but this had been preceded by a 1-3 loss to Sheffield United at home and a 0-2 defeat away to Coventry. These results highlight Blackburn's inconsistency, particularly in their away performances. They will need to be more resilient defensively if they are to challenge Leicester at their home ground.

• Win: 2-1 vs Southampton (H)
• Loss: 1-3 vs Sheffield Utd (H)
• Loss: 0-2 vs Coventry (A)
• Draw: 1-1 vs Stoke City (H)
• Loss: 1-2 vs Swansea (H)

The head-to-head record between Leicester and Blackburn shows a competitive history, with Blackburn winning the most recent encounter 2-0 in May 2024. Leicester, however, had a convincing 4-1 victory in their last meeting at Blackburn in October 2023. The teams have also had close contests in 2013 and 2014. These results suggest that both teams are capable of challenging each other, making the upcoming match unpredictable.

• Blackburn 1-1 Leicester (22 Mar 2014)

• Predicted lineup: Stolarczyk (GK), Pereira (DF), Okoli (DF), Vestergaard (DF), Thomas (DF), Winks (MF), James (MF), Fatawu (MF), Ramsey (MF), Monga (MF), Ayew (AT)

Leicester's predicted lineup suggests a focus on midfield control with Winks and James anchoring the midfield, allowing Ramsey and Fatawu to push forward and support the attack. The inclusion of Monga and Ayew in the lineup indicates an intent to exploit Blackburn's defensive vulnerabilities.

• Predicted lineup: Tóth (GK), Miller (DF), Wharton (DF), McLoughlin (DF), Alebiosu (MF), Gardner-Hickman (MF), Tronstad (MF), De Neve (MF), Morishita (MF), Ohashi (AT), Gudjohnsen (AT)

Blackburn's predicted lineup emphasises a solid defensive structure with Miller, Wharton, and McLoughlin at the back, aiming to contain Leicester's attacking threats. The midfield trio of Tronstad, Gardner-Hickman, and De Neve will be crucial in breaking up Leicester's play and launching counter-attacks.

• Luke Thomas vs Lewis Miller: This duel will see Leicester's attacking full-back Luke Thomas test Blackburn's defensive resilience through Lewis Miller.

• Harry Winks vs Ryoya Morishita: Harry Winks' ability to control the midfield will be challenged by Ryoya Morishita's energetic and creative play for Blackburn.

• Jeremy Monga (Leicester): Jeremy Monga's versatility and goal-scoring threat from midfield could be a decisive factor for Leicester.

• Sondre Tronstad (Blackburn): Sondre Tronstad's role in breaking up play and distributing the ball effectively will be vital for Blackburn's chances.
