  The winner of Wrexham's clash with Blackburn will take on Newcastle in a money-spinning fifth round tie. Of course, one may not view Phil Parkinson's side as complete underdogs given the investment of Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney but a win over Rovers would mark a major step forward in their journey.
