NEWCASTLE UNITED have been drawn away to either Blackburn Rovers or Wrexham in the fifth round of the FA Cup.

The Magpies have received an away draw for the third round in a row, after victories at Sunderland and Fulham in this season's competition.

However, they have avoided another all-Premier League tie as they prepare to make only their second appearance in the fifth round in the last 18 years.

Blackburn, who are 18th in the Championship, play Wrexham, who are second in League Two, in the fourth round at Ewood Park tomorrow evening.

The fifth-round ties are due to take place in a midweek slot in the week beginning Monday, February 26.
