Leeds travel to Ewood Park in search of their first win over Blackburn in 10 years.

Leeds United travel to Ewood Park to face Blackburn Rovers on Saturday and just under 7000 of the Whites fans are set to make the trip. Neil Redfearn secured his first win as head coach when United beat Blackpool 3-1 before the international break and he will be hoping the side can pick up back-to-back wins for the first time since September. 

In a dominant first half display, Leeds destroyed Blackpool to go into the break 3-0 up in their last outing but a poor second half performance almost allowed Blackpool back into the game. The counter attacking football on display at Elland Road was a sign that the team believe they can go onto greater things this season and that there is a real buzz around the club. 

Blackburn have one of the stronger squads in the division this season and they have lost just one game at Ewood Park this campaign. It is their away form that is letting them down and they have picked up just three wins from nine games on the road. 

Rudy Gestede is their top scorer with 10 goals in the Championship and Rovers are one of the highest scoring sides in the division this season. They are unbeaten in seven games and the Lancashire club are sat just a point outside of the play-off positions. 

Rovers have been picking up a lot of unwanted draws this season and they have picked up just a point in four of their last seven games. They also haven't managed a clean sheet in their last four games and that will be something manager Gary Bowyer will hope to improve on when Leeds visit on Saturday.

Leeds took around 6,700 fans to Ewood Park last season and they were treated to a very poor performance from the Whites. United fell to a 1-0 defeat, with Tommy Spurr scoring the games only goal just before half time. 

United haven't beaten Blackburn since April 2004 when the sides were both in the Premier League with Steven Caldwell and Mark Viduka bagging the goals in a 2-1 win in Blackburn. It has been five games in all competitions since the Whites last claimed a victory over Rovers and they will be hoping to put that to an end when they visit Ewood Park on Saturday. 

The Whites have won just one away game all season and Neil Redfearn will be hoping they can pull off a surprise win and take all three points back to Yorkshire.
