Pick of the stats: Blackburn Rovers v Norwich City

The Valerien Ismael era begins at Ewood Park with a big match in the race for the Championship play-offs.

The 49-year-old Frenchman succeeded John Eustace at the Rovers helm this week and is pitted against a side four places, and four points behind sixth-placed Blackburn in his first game on Saturday (12:30 GMT).

Rovers have won three of their past four at home, while Johannes Hoff Thorup's Canaries have picked up four points from their past two on the road.

  • Blackburn Rovers have lost just one of their past six league games against Norwich City (W2 D3), after losing six of their prior seven meetings with the Canaries between 2014 and 2020 (D1).
