Frank Lampard's side are heading back to the Premier League after 25 years away and, with a 10-point lead at the top of the table, are set to win the second-tier title as well.

The Sky Blues' celebrations were delayed by a goalless draw at Sheffield Wednesday last week but that will only have stoked the fire ahead of their Ewood Park visit.

Blackburn must recover quickly from their midweek defeat to Southampton, which ended a six-game unbeaten run, and are battling relegation in the Championship.

Though Rovers are four points clear of the drop zone, they've played one game more than the sides around them in the race for survival.
