Preview: Leicester City vs. Blackburn Rovers

Leicester City vs. Blackburn Rovers

Leicester City are looking to make it back-to-back wins since the international break when they host Blackburn Rovers in the Championship on Tuesday night.

The Foxes were too strong for Wigan Athletic last weekend in a 2-0 home win and know that a repeat against Rovers could help them climb into the top two if results go their way.

Nigel Pearson will be without Sean St Ledger on Tuesday due to a knee injury, but Matty James and Dean Hammond are both in contention for a place in Leicester's starting XI.

Blackburn travel to the King Power Stadium unbeaten in their last three league games, but without Lee Williamson following his late red card against Burnley in last weekend's 1-1 draw.
