Wolves' clash with Blackburn at Ewood Park will be shown live on BBC iPlayer on Sunday 9th February, with a kick-off time of 12.30pm.

Rodrigo Gomes and Rayan-Ait Nouri helped Wolves to a hard-fought 2-1 win over Bristol City in the third round, while Blackburn beat Middlesbrough 1-0 at the Riverside Stadium.

The sides have met 10 times previously in the FA Cup, with the most recent of those coming in the final back in 1960 at Wembley Stadium where Wolves claimed a 3-0 win and their most recent major trophy.

The tie will see former club captain Danny Batth face his old team with Rovers flying high, currently 5th in the Championship pushing for promotion back to the Premier League.

Meanwhile Aston Villa's fourth round clash with Spurs will also be played on Sunday at the later time of 5.35pm and will be broadcast live on BBC One.

Villa progressed from the third round courtesy of a 2-1 win over West Ham while Tottenham saw off Tamworth 3-0 after extra-time.

The Villans, seven-time winners of the world's oldest domestic cup competition, will be looking to secure their spot in the last 16.

Full ticketing details will be confirmed in due course.
