Blackburn Rovers and Birmingham City will welcome the break from Championship as they prepare to face each other in an intriguing FA Cup fourth round clash. The Saturday evening contest at Ewood Park will be tricky to call despite Blackburn being the home side. If the positions in the table are taken into account, then the home side will be the clear favourites in this match. However, both teams are struggling for form in recent games hence anything is possible in this contest on Saturday.

Both clubs would welcome the opportunity to shift the focus away from the Championship due to their poor run of form in the league. Hence, the FA Cup will act as a welcome relief for these two sides. Birmingham City are inching ever closer to the relegation zone. With 32 points from 28 matches, they are struggling at the 19th spot in the standings.

On the other hand, Blackburn Rovers are sitting in the playoff positions. They have 43 points from 28 matches to be placed fourth in the Championship table. However, their form in recent matches has not been great either. They have won only one of their last five matches in the league, drawn one and lost the remaining three games. Hence, both sides will be happy to take a break from the Championship duties and focus on the FA Cup for the time being.
