United prevailed on penalties in their fifth round tie against the Championship side, with Martin Dúbravka - back in the side after illness - producing a magnificent goalkeeping display to send the Magpies through, with two crucial saves in the shoot-out following a number of fine stops in normal and extra time.

Dúbravka's excellence saw Eddie Howe's side triumph after a 1-1 draw in normal and extra time and a number of the players who had helped secure that victory - including Elliot Anderson, who returned from a lengthy injury absence to slot home his spot-kick at Ewood Park - trained on Thursday ahead of the weekend visit of Gary O'Neil's men.
