Recent respective form guides

Blackburn Rovers's dreadful home form has resulted in just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While Rovers have scored 5, a worringly large 10 have been leaked at the other end.

Everton's away form is none too clever either, picking up four victories from the last six. The games have constituted a decent return of 11 goals for the Toffees, and 6 goals against.

Blackburn R.'s 38 points from 24 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 8th position. Everton sit in a healthy 4th in the league, and have picked up 43 points from their 24 games.
