Charlton v Blackburn Rovers is a 2PM KO, Bamber Bridge, Preston, PR5 6UU

Blackburn enters Sunday’s proceedings off the back of a narrow 1-0 defeat to Sunderland in the Vitality Women’s FA Cup third round.

Their last win in the Barclays Women’s Championship was a 1-0 win against Sunderland in November. 

The previous meeting between the two sides was a 2-2 draw at The Oakwood in October, Charlton went 2-0 down to Rovers but an Emily Simpkins penalty and a Melissa Johnson equaliser in the 70th minute was enough to snatch a point.

The last time Blackburn earned victory over Charlton was in January 2020, after Natasha Flint bagged two goals in the second half.
