A DATE has been set for Rovers’ FA Cup second round tie with Crewe Alexandra at Ewood Park.

Rovers will host the League Two side on Sunday, December 3 with a 2pm kick-off.

Tony Mowbray’s side will face a fourth tier side for the second successive round after overcoming Barnet 3-1 on November 4 courtesy of second half goals from Joe Nuttall, Danny Graham and Marcus Antonsson.

Crewe have already knocked a League One team out of the competition, beating Rotherham United 2-1 at the Alexandra Stadium to book their place in round two.

The sides met in the second round of last year’s EFL Cup at Ewood Park, with Rovers edging through 4-3 after extra-time.

Tickets for the game are priced at £12 for adults, £5 for seniors and £2 for Under-18s.
