• Middlesbrough are unbeaten in five against Blackburn, having followed three consecutive Premier League draws against them with the double in the Championship last season, when Lukas Jutkiewicz scored all three of their goals.
• Blackburn's club record league victory was against Middlesbrough, courtesy of a 9-0 thumping in the second tier on 6 November 1954, at Ewood Park. Blackburn Rovers
