A massive FA Cup Fifth Round of matches (see below) this midweek.
That schedule of eight matches including obviously Blackburn v Newcastle at 7.45pm on Tuesday night, live on BBC1.
A sold out official following of 7,200 Newcastle United fans, plus those who have managed to get tickets in the home sections.
No replays this season in the FA Cup Fifth Round and so if a draw at the end of normal time, 30 minutes of extra-time and potentially penalties.
One game tonight and three on Tuesday, then before the four FA Cup fifth round matches kick off on Wednesday night, the quarter-final draw will be shown live on ITV at 7.30pm ahead of their coverage of Liverpool v Southampton.
The breakdown of the 16 clubs in the FA Cup fifth round is:
Top tier (Premier League): Ten clubs
Second tier (Championship): Five clubs
Sixth tier (National League South): One club
There are three all Premier League ties, four of them see Premier League up against Championship (including Newcastle at Blackburn), whilst Championship Coventry are at home to National League South Maidstone, ensuring at least one non-Premier League club in the quarter-finals.
