Blackburn Rovers host Wolverhampton Wanderers in the fourth round of the FA Cup on Sunday afternoon as the Championship side look to spring a surprise on their Premier League guests.

Rovers are pushing for promotion back to the top flight, currently sitting sixth in the Championship table as they battle for a play-off finish.

However, they have not been in great form of late, with four defeats in their last five outings, including at QPR last time out.

John Eustace’s side will clearly have to improve on that form when they welcome Wolves to Ewood Park.

Vitor Pereira’s team are still struggling in 17th position in the Premier League, but picked up a morale-boosting 2-0 win over Aston Villa in their last fixture.

That snapped a losing run which had last four league games, only broken up by a 2-1 win at Bristol City in the FA Cup third round.

This is the first meeting between the clubs since April 2017, a game which finished goalless in the Championship. Blackburn have not beaten Wolves since a Premier League win over them in 2012.
