Overview

• Following submissions from both clubs, the EFL Board voted by majority to replay the fixture in full, with the three Championship directors abstaining.
• The original match at Ewood Park was halted in the 79th minute due to a waterlogged pitch, with Blackburn leading 1-0 and Ipswich reduced to ten men after Jacob Greaves’ red card.
• Blackburn said they are extremely disappointed by the ruling, will seek further clarity, and are considering an appeal.
• The EFL cited recent precedents in abandoned fixtures and said the clubs will confirm a new date and ticketing details in due course.
• Ipswich defender Jacob Greaves will be eligible for the replay after serving his one-match suspension in the intervening fixture.
