Recent respective form guides

Blackburn Rovers home form is most definitely relegation standard, collecting just 1 solitary point from the last six. While Rovers have scored 7, a worringly large 14 have been leaked at the other end.

The away form of Everton is pretty dire, managing a paltry 2 draws from the last six matches. Blues have conceded 10 goals in these games, and only hit 3 in reply.

Blackburn are stuck down in the relegation zone of Barclaycard Premiership with a return of just 8 points from their 11 games thus far. Everton are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 10 points from 11 matches.
