Pick of the stats: Norwich City v Blackburn Rovers

Norwich will seek to resume their climb away from the Championship relegation zone as they welcome fellow-strugglers Blackburn to Carrow Road on Saturday (12:31 GMT).

The Canaries are 19th, one point and two places above managerless Rovers, who climbed out of the bottom three courtesy of a 1-0 win over basement-boys Sheffield Wednesday on Tuesday.

The Canaries saw a run of three straight league wins ended by a battling 1-0 defeat at Middlesbrough on Saturday but got back to winning ways at home with a 2-1 victory over Coventry last time out.

Rovers parted company with Valerien Ismael on Monday but picked up their first victory in nine league games against the Owls, though they are winless in six on their travels since a 2-1 win at Preston in November.

• Following their 2-0 win in August, Norwich are looking to complete the league double over Blackburn for the first time since 2018/19.
• Six of Blackburn's past 10 away league games against Norwich have finished in draws (W2 L2), with both teams scoring in nine of those 10 meetings.
• Norwich have won five of their past eight league games (L3), more than they had in their first 22 this season (W4 D6 L12).
• Blackburn are winless in their past six away league games (D3 L3), having won five of their first eight on the road this term (L3).
• At 22 Norwich's Jovon Makama is the youngest player to score 10 goals in the Championship this season.
