History of the Blackburn Rovers v Fulham fixture

Fulham face a trip to Blackburn Rovers at Ewood Park on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Cottagers will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them ending up on the losing side in more than half of the games played between the two.

The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in May 2005, as the visitors ran out cosy 1 - 3 winners in a Premiership match.
