The Magpies beat Fulham 2-0 in last Saturday's fourth round clash at Craven Cottage to set up a trip to Rovers, who saw off Wrexham in their fourth round game in midweek.

And it has now been confirmed that Eddie Howe's side will travel to Ewood Park for that game against former United forward Jon Dahl Tomasson's men on Tuesday, 27th February, with kick-off set for 7:45pm GMT.

The tie will also be broadcast live on BBC One, BBC iPlayer and BBC Sport.

Further details concerning the fixture will be announced in due course.
