The last time the two teams met in England’s premier cup competition, Blackburn ran out 2-0 victors at Ewood Park in 2007.
However, the tie could prove a good omen as the Blues comfortably saw off Rovers on the way to FA Cup glory in 1969, recording a 4-1 victory in the fifth round.
Ties will be played on the weekend of 4 and 5 January 2014.
We’ll have all the ticket details once the date and time are confirmed on mcfc.co.uk.
