ROVERS will host Manchester United in the FA Cup fifth round on Sunday, the third consecutive year they will have taken on Premier League opposition at Ewood Park at this stage of the competition.
Back in February 2015 it was Stoke City who were the visitors to East Lancashire, where Josh King inspired Rovers to victory.

The Norwegian international scored a hat-trick, as well as winning a first-half penalty that was dispatched by Rudy Gestede, as Rovers made it to the quarter-finals.
Rovers trailed to a Peter Crouch goal early on, and both sides were guilty of missing chances before King levelled things up with a close-range header.
They went in to the break ahead, and with a man advantage, when Geoff Cameron was sent off for a foul on King in the box, allowing Gestede to score from the spot.
And two breakaway goals from King in the second half put Rovers in to the last eight.
