The Sky Sports Essential EFL podcast looks ahead to Leicester vs Blackburn in the Championship

Gary Weaver on the Sky Sports Essential EFL podcast:

“You would have thought the win against Swansea, when they played so well, would have been the launch pad. But even in the Championship, it has been a strange season so far for the relegated clubs. Leicester are currently the highest-placed of them, yet they have only one win in eight.

“As for Blackburn, it has been a turbulent season. Last week’s match against Southampton turned toxic, with chants directed at both the owners and manager Valerien Ismael. Ewood Park feels like a tense place right now. But they are away, and if you are Blackburn, you would try to exploit Leicester’s fragility on Saturday and go after them from the start.”

Norwich have lost five on the bounce now and have dropped into the relegation zone. The pressure is building on Liam Manning ahead of the visit of Hull City, who started the weekend outside of the play-off places on goal difference alone.
