After qualifying for the Champions League last season, Newcastle have slipped to ninth in the table this campaign and were thrashed 4-1 by Arsenal at the weekend as their dismal defensive form continued.

But Eddie Howe believes Newcastle can still have a “very special” season as they look to win the club’s first domestic trophy since 1955.

Newcastle travel to a Blackburn side who have slipped to 18th in the Championship, just three points above the relegation zone, after a poor run of form.

The Blackburn vs Newcastle live stream is a chance for the wounded Magpies to bounce back against a Rovers side that is struggling in the second-tier. There's no replays from the FA Cup fifth round onwards so there must be a winner tonight in the Alan Shearer derby and you can watch it for FREE from anywhere.

Blackburn fans may be enduring an inconsistent 2023-24 but there have been signs of improvement since John Eustace replaced Jon Dahl Tomasson in early February. Rovers' sole league victory since mid-December has come under the former Birmingham boss' tenure, while 19-goal top scorer Sammie Szmodics continues a fine season from midfield. Having disposed of Cambridge and Wrexham already this tournament, the six-time winners are seeking a second successive FA Cup quarter-final.

Newcastle's 4-1 defeat at Arsenal at the weekend put an abrupt to a recent uptick in form for the Magpies, who had gone four unbeaten. Boss Eddie Howe suggested his senior players were playing for their futures post-Emirates and with Champions League football next season already 15 points away, the FA Cup represents the Tynesiders' final chance to end a 55-year wait for silverware. Defensively, they must improve, having shipped 23 goals in their past eight Premier League outings, although they are yet to concede in the FA Cup this term after 3-0 and 2-0 defeats of bitter rivals Sunderland and Fulham respectively.

Can Blackburn pull off the upset in the battle of the six-time winners? There's only one way to find out. Read on and we'll show you where to watch Blackburn vs Newcastle online and for FREE.

Joe Rankin-Costello and John Fleck are unavailable for the hosts, with Ryan Hedges also a doubt after limping off against Norwich on Saturday. Sammie Szmodics is the joint-top scorer in the FA Cup this season with five goals so far.

Newcastle were able to welcome back Alexander Isak and Joe Willock against Arsenal. Martin Dubravka could return after illness, but Nick Pope, Joelinton and Callum Wilson remain out.

Alexander Isak returned from injury and started against Arsenal. The 24-year-old Swedish forward has scored 14 goals this season, already surpassing the scoring figures he achieved the previous campaign. In the FA Cup he has two goals in two games, both against Sunderland.

Samuel Szmodics, 28-year-old Irish playmaker who is the EFL Championship's top scorer with 18 goals. He is also the FA Cup winner with five, tied with Brighton's Joao Pedro. In the last game of this competition he scored a double.

They have just received a 4-1 win at the Emirates Stadium against Arsenal. They have only won one match in the last four matches. Although on the positive side of the last six, they have only lost one of them. They are in ninth position in the Premier League with 37 points, but the European places are far away, right now ten points away.

They have just drawn 1-1 against Norwich City and have already drawn three in a row. They have only managed to win one match in the last six matches they have played. With 39 points they occupy 16th position in the EFL Championship, four points ahead of the relegation positions.

Numerous confrontations between these two English teams with a favorable balance for the Hurricanes, since Newcastle United has won 59 times, Blackburn 53 times and 31 duels have ended in a draw. The last time they met was in 2020 in the Carabao Cup where Newcastle United won 1-0.

They have met 13 times in the FA Cup with seven wins for Newcastle, four draws and two wins for Blackburn. In 2019 they faced each other in this competition where it was decided in extra time after the Replay match, finally Newcastle went to the round of 32.

Blackburn were involved in a share of the spoils for the third straight game, as they only managed a 1-1 league draw with Norwich City on Saturday. John Eustace’s side have gone four games without a win in the Championship, losing once, since a 3-1 loss against Stoke City on February 10.

The Rovers turn their attention to the FA Cup, where they kicked off their campaign with a 5-2 win over Cambridge United on January 6 before thrashing Wrexham 4-1 at Ewood Park.

Newcastle, meanwhile, suffered a 4-1 defeat at title-chasing Arsenal in the Premier League on Saturday. Before that, Eddie Howe’s men were on a five-game unbeaten run across competitions, winning thrice.

The Magpies head to the FA Cup, where they have brushed aside Sunderland and Fulham, scoring five goals and keeping two clean sheets.

Fresh off a disappointing display at Arsenal, Newcastle need a morale-boosting result. Given the gulf in class and quality between the two sides, expect Howe’s men to come away with the desired result.

The Magpies travel to Ewood Park to face Championship outfit Blackburn Rovers in the fifth round of the competition. Newcastle recorded a convincing win over Fulham in the previous round to secure their tie against Blackburn.

Eddie Howe's team go into the contest on the back of a 4-1 defeat to Arsenal in the Premier League at the weekend. The result leaves Newcastle in tenth place in the league standings and 15 points adrift of the Champions League spots.

Newcastle's most realistic chance for a major trophy this season now lies with the FA Cup. Victory over Blackburn would see the club reach the quarter-final stage and just one game away from a semi-final at Wembley Stadium.
