Coventry City will travel to Blackburn Rovers in the Fifth Round of the FA Cup on Saturday February 14th.

Blackburn Rovers beat Sunderland after extra time. David Healy put Sunderland ahead before Mokena equalised after 37 minutes. That was how it stayed until extra time when Benny McCarthy scored in the 118th minute.

Kick off at will be at 3pm. Travel details can be found on our Travel Details pages in the article "February Directions".

Again, you are advised not to contact the Ticket Office until they announce details of when the match tickets will go on sale as both clubs have to discuss the match arrangements. Said details will appear on this site as soon as they are available. 

Tickets are priced at £15 for adults and £5 for concessions.

Blackburn should offer City around a minimum of 4,500 tickets, the same allocation the Sky Blues had the FA Cup tie which finished in a 4-1 victory for City last season.

If this Fifth Round game finishes in a draw and a replay is required, it will be on Tuesday February 24th at the Ricoh Arena at 7.45pm and will mean that the away game at Crystal Palace is postponed until March 17th.

In the FA Cup tonight, Aston Villa beat Doncaster Rovers 3-1 whilst the East Midlands derby saw victory for Derby County by 3-2 at Nottingham Forest.

The Merseyside derby required extra time but it was Everton who now face Aston Villa with a 1-0 win.
