That means Rovers, who have already earned around £1m from their run to the last eight, will bank £123,750 in broadcast fees.

The winners of the replay will net at least a further £810,000 in prize money and set up a semi-final showdown with Aston Villa at Wembley over the weekend of April 18 and 19.

The other last-four tie will see holders Arsenal take on Reading or Bradford City whose quarter-final replay takes place on Monday week.

Asked whether he would prefer the Liverpool clash to take place sooner, Rovers boss Gary Bowyer, who is missing five players through injury, said: “I’m not bothered when we play it to be honest.

“If it was tomorrow, then great, but the fact that it’s a month away probably gives one or two time to recover.”

Rovers’ Championship match at home to Millwall, which was scheduled for Monday, April 6, has been rearranged for Tuesday, April 21 (7.45pm).
