John Eustace insists Blackburn Rovers travel to Leicester City without fear despite being 'written off'.

Rovers need only a point to secure their place in the Championship for next season. However, the opponents couldn't be tougher as they face a trip to the newly-crowned champions.

A defeat could still be ok for Rovers depending on results elsewhere but Eustace and the team are keen to ensure they dictate their own destiny.

Rovers' last away trip to a top-four side saw them leave Elland Road victorious. They showed patience and a clinical edge to beat Leeds United despite being widely tipped to lose the match.

Eustace says Rovers will take inspiration from that victory and will go in with the mindset to win, despite again being expected to lose.

"No, I don't think it matters (Leicester are up). Leicester are a fantastic team," Eustace said.

"I went to watch them on Monday night against Preston and they have a fantastic squad. They've a great group of players and so I don't think it makes a difference.

"They're a different team to Leeds. It's a challenge at a top team in the league and we want to stamp our way of playing on the game.

"I think we've been written off in a lot of games so we have the same mentality as always.

"We have to look after ourselves, we stick together. Any disappointments, we get through them together.

"We know it'll be a tough challenge going to Leicester, as it is any away game. Results have been ok so we have to be positive, training has been good.

"We'll go with a game plan and we hope to be successful with that. It's a Premier League squad with Premier League players. We have to respect who we play against but we have a game plan and we hope that will go well."

Rovers will have someone across the scorelines in the Championship on the touchline. If the team do their job, though, results elsewhere won't matter.

Eustace has consistently said he won't focus on other teams or the Championship table. That obviously changes in these circumstances.

It will be a balance of knowing when to give players information on the situation. For the first hour of the match, Eustace plans to keep stump and ignore outside factors.

"That might come into the game in the last half an hour," he admitted.

"For the first hour of the game, we will only focus on what we have to do and our job at hand."
