Blackburn vs Stoke City

Blackburn completed a league double over Stoke last season and are looking for three wins in a row for the first time since a run of five between 1988 and 2008.

After going eight league games unbeaten at Ewood Park between 2009 and 2022, Stoke City lost 3-1 there last season.

Blackburn haven’t won a midweek league game since a 2-1 win over Bristol City in December 2023 (D3 L4 since), failing to score in six of those seven games.

Stoke have failed to win, or score, in each of their last four away league games (D1 L3); the Potters haven’t gone five successive league games on the road without scoring outside the top-flight since August 1997 (run of nine).

Blackburn’s Tyrhys Dolan netted his first ever league brace in this exact fixture last season, in a 3-1 victory in February.
