Blackburn v Wrexham preview
The final match of the fourth round of the FA Cup takes place tonight as League Two's Hollywood-owned club Wrexham make the short trip across the border to Lancashire to take on Championship side Blackburn.
The Championship side have endured a bit of a streaky season so far, starting the season well before a drop off in form which was followed by a big recovery in form but which currently sees them on a long winless run in the league and down in the bottom half of the table.
Jon Dahl Tomasson's side were knocking on the door of the top six in mid-December, their win over Birmingham taking them up to seventh in the table, but just one win in their 10 league games since has seen them fall well out of contention and down to 18th.
The Lancashire side are winless in their last seven in the league but their 5-2 win over Cambridge of League One in the FA Cup in the third round just over three weeks ago leaves them with just one defeat in their last four matches in all competitions.
Two of those games have come in the form of draws at home against bottom of the table Rotherham and their fellow relegation candidates Huddersfield.
With the Riversiders bottom of the Championship's form table over the last six matches, a confidence building win over lower league opposition could be key in their bid to turn their recent fortunes around.

Wrexham head into tonight's match in second place in League Two, five points behind the league leaders Stockport but having played a game fewer.
Phil Parkinson's side head into their fourth round tie having fallen to a surprise defeat to Newport in their last outing, putting an end to their run of having won six of their previous seven matches in all competitions as they eye promotion to League One at the first time of asking.
The Red Dragons' home record has been formidable this season, boasting the best in the fourth tier and has been a big help in their push for promotion this year, but their results away from home haven't been ideal all season.
Wrexham have the 11th best away record in League Two and have won only one of their last five games on the road ahead of their big trip to Ewood Park.
While in the National League last season, the Welsh side, co-owned by Hollywood starts Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, reached this round of the FA Cup last season, and are looking to reach the fifth round of the competition for the first time in 27 years.
10 of the two clubs' previous 16 meetings have all ended in draws, but Wrexham did come out on top in their last match against in each other 42 years ago in a second tier league game.
Wrexham are unbeaten in away games against Blackburn since 1971.
The winner of tonight's tie will host Newcastle of the Premier League in fifth round at the end of next month.
