BLACKBURN Rovers will be ball number six in tomorrow night’s draw for the FA Cup quarter-finals.
Rovers sealed their place in the last eight with a stunning 4-1 home victory over Stoke City yesterday.
Definitely joining them in the hat are fellow Championship outfit Reading and Stoke’s Premier League rivals Liverpool and West Brom.
Three of the four remaining fifth-round ties – Aston Villa v Leicester City, Bradford City v Sunderland, Arsenal v Middlesbrough – take place today.
The draw for the quarter-finals will be broadcast live one BBC One at approximately 7.35pm tomorrow before the final last-16 clash, between Preston North End and Manchester United, gets under way.
Quarter-finals ties will take place over the weekend of March 7-8 and as a result Rovers’ Championship match at home to Bolton Wanderers on Saturday, March 7 will have to be rearranged.
