We are now only one day away from Leicester City's return to action. Due to the East Midlanders being knocked out of the Carabao Cup at the first time of trying, they are only competing in the Championship at the moment. The FA Cup will soon provide relief as well as a chance for manager Marti Cifuentes to try some young and periphery players.
Blackburn Rovers are the next visitors to King Power Stadium. The fixture takes place the day after Halloween, on Saturday, November 1. Rovers are currently 21st in the English Football League's top division, with no hope of entering the Premier League subsequently as it stands. Though City's chances of being promoted have also taken a severe battering of late.
Regardless, you can typically expect a decent match when Blackburn are in town. They usually bring a fairly noisy, if not huge, crowd with them which makes for an occasion on Filbert Way this weekend. In today's article we preview said game. First of all we have fitness news for the Blue Army. Consequently I can predict Cifuentes' starting lineup. Not to mention providing the start time and broadcast coverage information. Let's go!
