Wolverhampton Wanderers will compete on the championship side in the fourth round of the FA Cup on Sunday afternoon.
A 2-1 victory over Bristol City helped Vitor Pereira’s team to penetrate the next phase of the competition, while John Eustaces Rovers Middlesbrough drove away from home in the third round.
Blackburn entered this cup bond in the back of a win of five games and they won only one of their last five in the second stage. Nevertheless, the Eustace team has drastically exceeded expectations this season and is able to claim a play -off spot -even if they tend in the wrong direction.
These two may meet in the second stage in the next season, but the wolves achieved a big win at Molineux last weekend when they defeated the West Midlands rival Aston Villa 2-0. They are now two points in front of the drop zone in the 17th, but their position undoubtedly remains precarious.
Here is 90 minutes Guide to the FA Cup fourth round on Sunday.

Blackburn’s injury life played a considerable role in their recent fights, and it is unlikely that Eustace will receive many of his current absences for the FA Cup tie on Sunday.
Due to a knee injury, Scott Wharton is a long -term absence, while Sondre Tronstad will only be back with a thigh problem next month.
Yuki Ohashi has to deal with an ankle problem and will probably miss together with Arnor Sigurdsson, Harry Pickering, Hayden Carter and Zak Gilsenan.
Blackburn predicted line-up against wolves (4-2-3-1): Pears; Brittain, Hyam, Bath, Beck; Travis, Forshaw; Dolan, Weimann, Cantwell; Gueye.
Wolves were the second largest Premier League editions in the transfer window in January, and we have already seen how the former rhyme captain Emmanuel Agbadou had a remarkable influence on the defense of Vereira.
Nasser Djiga and Marshall Munetsi signed on Deadline Day and should both have an impact on their respective debuts in Ewood Park.
There is a familiar list of absences for visitors, although the summer arrival Jorgen Jorgen Strand Larsen is a relatively recent addition that was accumulated during the defeat against arsenal. The striker exposed himself with Boubacar Traore, Enso Gonzalez, Sasa Kalajdzic and Yerson Mosquera.
Joao Gomes can return from his suspension.
Wolves predicted against Blackburn (3-4-2-1): Johnstone; Doherty, Djiga, Agbadou; Semedo, Gomes, Andre, Ait-Nouri; Bellegarde, Cunha; Hwang.
The victory of last week against the villa was huge for wolves. It was a result that was able to compare a talented squad that is to be encouraged by her business in January.
The dynamics that were won from victory on Saturday should be transferred to this cup crawling, with Pereia’s team selection suggesting in the third round that this is a competition that they will take very seriously.
The Ewood Park will be in the mood because the opposition of the Premier League comes into the city, but Eustace’s injury outfit looks like and it is unlikely that it is going through the surprise on the ground.
