Midfielder Matty James comes back into the reckoning for Leicester after serving a one-match suspension.

James's return means centre-half Sean St Ledger is the only absentee for manager Nigel Pearson.

Blackburn will be without midfielder Lee Williamson who was sent off in the tempestuous Lancashire derby against Burnley at the weekend.

And experienced midfielder David Dunn remains sidelined with the knee injury that kept him out at Turf Moor.

MATCH FACTS
Head-to-head


• This is only the second season Leicester and Blackburn find themselves in the Championship together since both dropped down from the Premier League 10 years ago.

• Leicester are looking for a fourth successive home league win over Rovers, having beaten them 3-0 in February with headed goals from Chris Wood and Andy King either side of a strike from Harry Kane on his home debut.

• Blackburn have picked up four points from their last eight winless trips to Leicester, following their 3-1 victory in the second tier in January 1991.

Leicester City

• Leicester are seeking a fourth win in five league games, and a fifth of this Championship campaign.

• A draw would see the Foxes take their total of points in second-tier league football to 3,000.

• The Foxes have already won two league games from losing positions - only Leeds match that.

Blackburn Rovers

• Gary Bowyer has seen his Blackburn side click into gear - after one point and one goal from the first three matches Blackburn have gained seven points in the last three, scoring 10 goals.

• Rovers are yet to win away from home.

• Last season's top scorer Jordan Rhodes is one of six Blackburn players who have been involved in every minute of this Championship campaign, and one of seven different scorers of league goals for the club, having netted five times in his past three outings.

I like GB, I really do but I am starting to feel he doesn't have the depth of experience to get us back in to a game when we concede, which is every game.

I'm not going to start a GB bashing here, but he seems hell bent on getting rid of all of our experienced players and replcing them with younger players. Having youth in the team isn't a bad thing but not in every position and certainly not in the Championship!!
