Blackburn Rovers will face Newcastle United at Ewood Park in the fifth round of the FA Cup if they beat Wrexham AFC on Monday night.
The draw for the next round of the competition was made on Sunday at 2pm, with Jon Dahl Tomasson's side drawing The Magpies. The last time the two sides met at home was in January 2019, a 4-2 defeat.
Rovers are the last team to play in the fourth round as they host League Two opposition at Ewood Park on Monday night.
Should they beat the Welsh side, they will play The Toon Army on the week commencing February 26. The FA Cup fifth round is played in midweek and will be between a home match against Norwich City and a trip to Swansea City.
Rovers will bank £120K if they win tomorrow night with a further £225K on the line for reaching the quarter-finals. The club, of course, made it to the sixth round last year before losing to Sheffield United in agonising fashion.
