Tottenham face a trip to Blackburn Rovers at Ewood Park on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Spurs 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 just last season, in October 2002, with Tottenham inflicting a narrow 1 - 2 defeat upon the Rovers in a Premiership match.
