Blackburn vs Newcastle United preview
The Alan Shearer derby takes top billing of the FA Cup fifth round clashes on Tuesday.
Blackburn haven’t won any of their last four games in the league, drawing their last three.
They’re four points clear of the relegation zone in the second tier but have just lost twice in nine home games.
They’ve scored in all of those games, too.
For Newcastle, they were ridiculously timid as they stood and watched Arsenal romp to a 4-1 win on Saturday.
Eddie Howe has suggested players are currently playing for their Newcastle FUTURES after a disappointing drop-off this season.
Injury issues are still plaguing Howe’s men but the returns of Alexander Isak and Joe Willock were big boosts on Saturday.
The FA Cup and another cup run are pivotal for the club but also, mainly, for the supporters and this represents a great opportunity.

Blackburn vs Newcastle betting tips
Away win
Newcastle could and probably should have too much for Blackburn and avoid the upset.
Their recent away woes – prior to Arsenal – had been eradicated with four wins on the bounce.
They scored 11 goals in those four games, with two at Anfield prior to that in defeat and can rack up similar figures here.

Midfield battle
It’s where games are won and lost and for Sondre Tronstad, he will be up against it in the battle.
He’s actually been booked four times in the last eight games and will be without the ball plenty here.
Will he?
Joe Willock marked his return from a lengthy spell out with a goal in his 18 minute cameo at his former club.
Will be hoping to feature for longer in this game and even coming off the bench, he represents a key part of the Toon attack.
