Coventry City are playing Blackburn Rovers in the FA Cup Fifth Round on Saturday with the winner of the game or a replay if required, picking up £200,000.

City have banked £175,000 in prize money from wins at home to Kidderminster and away to Torquay United and are only the second club to have made it to the Fifth Round without playing Football League or Premier League opposition.

The draw for the Sixth Round will take place on Sunday at 6.30pm and will be shown live on ITV1 after the Derby County v Manchester United game and Setanta Sports as well as on Radio Five Live.

If Saturday's game at Ewood Park finishes in a draw, the replay will take place on Tuesday February 24th at the Ricoh Arena at 7.45pm. Full ticket details will appear on this site when they are available.

If the game does require a replay, City's Championship fixture at Selhurst Park against Crystal Palace will be postponed and the game will be played on March 17th.
