Newcastle United will be bidding to book
their spot in the quarter-finals of the FA Cup when they head to Ewood Park to
tackle Championship outfit Blackburn Rovers on Tuesday.
The visitors will enter the match off the
back of a 4-1 defeat at Arsenal in the Premier League, while Blackburn drew 1-1
with Norwich City in the second tier of English football last time out.
Blackburn are more than capable of progressing to the quarter-finals of the FA Cup at Newcastle's expense, expecting Tuesday's affair to be extremely close. Newcastle boss Howe is set to name a strong side, though, backing the visitors to navigate their way into the final eight.
