We said: Leicester City 2-1 Blackburn Rovers (a.e.t)

It is not difficult to envisage an in-form Blackburn putting their more esteemed opponents to the sword on Tuesday, but the Foxes gave Man United several scares last week and could have easily come away from their clash against Arsenal with a point on another day.
