Mark Lawrence's preview spells it out i think ;)
Burnley v Blackburn
Kick-off 1330 GMT
For people outside the north west who don't understand this fixture, it will be World War III.
They will not need a ball for half an hour. There will be a full house, a few tackles flying in and it looks to be a great old Lancashire FA Cup derby game.
It is such a big tie for Burnley and I think they will give Blackburn a real serious examination.
Verdict: 1-1

KEY MATCH STATS
BURNLEY against Blackburn should be a spicy affair for the Sunday lunchtime BBC television audience. The East Lancashire neighbours are the fiercest of rivals, separated by just eight miles. Their lack of meetings in recent years guarantees an intense atmosphere. These two founder members of the Football League were last in the same division together four seasons ago, Rovers did the 'double' and the police presence at both games was huge.
The Clarets are looking to claim their second Premiership scalp of this Cup run, having pulled off the shock of the third round in beating Liverpool. Ian Moore ended his goal famine to steer Steve Cotterill's side into the last 16, by netting the opening against Bournemouth in the last round - Burnley's sixth straight FA Cup victory at Turf Moor.
The Clarets have been knocked out in the fifth round four times in the last seven years, and have made only one appearance in the sixth round in 21 years. That was in the season before last, when they disposed of Premiership Fulham at this fifth round stage. Cotterill's club lie 15 places below Blackburn on the League ladder.
BLACKBURN ROVERS have won the FA Cup six times, but not since 1928. They've not been beaten in the competition by a club outside the Premiership for nine years, since Ipswich - then in the second tier - defeated them 0-1 after extra time in a third round replay at Ewood Park on 16 January 1996.
Manager Mark Hughes, who won the Cup four times as a player, is aiming to steer Rovers into the quarter-finals for the second time in 12 years, and first time since the 2000/2001 season. At 16th in the Premiership, Hughes knows avoiding relegation in his number one priority, but would not want his side humiliated in this local derby.
There's nothing between these two clubs in the FA Cup head to head count. This is the first time since 1960 that they've been paired together but the fifth time in all and they stand at two wins a piece. Rovers needed a replay to dispose of Championship Cardiff in the third round, but had little trouble seeing off Colchester in round four, once Aidan Davidson - the goalkeeper for the League One club - found himself guilty of a howler that will probably find its place into one of those Christmas videos.
COME ON THE CLARETS :clap:
suppose youd better have someone to follow this weekend seeing as your lot are gonna get arseholed. ;)Quote:
