Yunus Akgun rises to meet a Marc Albrighton ball into the box, but directs his header wide.

Looking at the replay, Akgun looked to be offside, so it would have been ruled out if he'd scored from it anyway.

Bournemouth then have another good chance themselves as Enes Unal prods wide.

The holders get this tie under way.

I really like Joe Willock. He has got legs and energy that they really needed. He will add competition for places and, of course, he is a goal threat.

Fantastic atmosphere at Ewood Park as Newcastle get things under way.

Apart from the top tier of the Ronnie Clayton Blackburn End of the stadium, which is not being used, the rest of the stands are pretty packed, with Newcastle, selling out their allocation of 7,500 to fill out the opposite end of the ground.

And the atmosphere is building nicely, with a host of youngsters eagerly waving flags pitchside as the players come out for action.

We've had a 15-minute delay and a long evening could get even longer with extra-time and penalties possible for later on.

This should be a good one. Blackburn's focus is staying in the Championship this season and can enjoy this match as they look for a cup upset, but for Newcastle they desperately need to progress as they look to salvage their season.

Newcastle United

Newcastle United manager Eddie Howe speaking to BBC Match of the Day: "Right this second, it [the FA Cup] is the biggest focus. It is the next moment and we are looking forward to it. We don't underestimate Blackburn at all and we want to give a good performance and bounce back."

On Joe Willock's return: "Big boost for us. He is an outstanding player. He showed that against Arsenal. His goal, his athleticism. It is a big boost to get him in today. I am happy with our team. We look strong and we have a strong bench too."

On conceding goals: "Every game you have to give yourself a chance to win games. We haven't kept enough clean sheets and tonight we want to see an improved defensive performance."

On the FA Cup as a target: "I think with every passing round you get closer to the end part of the competition and you are desperate to be involved. We had that with the Carabao Cup last year and then we watched it again this year and it brought back a lot of memories."

Kenilworth Road might be on the small side but the place is rocking! It's a sell-out at the Kenny. An FA Cup upset win would really give Rob Edwards' players belief as they battle to stay in the Premier League.

The teams are gathering in the tunnel. Jack Grealish and Ross Barkley have just had a little cuddle.

Philip Billing loves a shot from range and his eyes light up with the space in front of him. His low drive is well struck but saved by Jakub Stolarczyk.

There's a pause in play here as Enes Unal took a nasty knock after colliding with Conor Coady during that Bournemouth attack.

Bournemouth are dominating matters and now Alex Scott has a big chance, the ball cut back to him in a good position but he launches his shot over the bar.

Had to get that on target really.

Blackburn Rovers

Blackburn Rovers manager John Eustace speaking to BBC Match of the Day: "Everyone is really excited for tonight. We are playing one of the top teams in the Premier League so everyone is really excited. We want to be competitive and really give Newastle a good game but also showcase how good we are with the ball. We can't wait to put ourselves against very strong opponent today."

On striker Sammie Szmodics: "We have to play to his strengths. We have to do that and look to keep the Newcastle defenders on their toes.

"I think it is important that we take it seriously. The history is there for everyone to see. We want to be competitive and see where it takes us."

Enes Unal is looking like Bournemouth's most dangerous player and he receives the ball inside the box and sweeps a shot that looks to be going in but Hamza Choudhury clears off the line.

Luton boss Rob Edwards, speaking to ITV: "It's a huge test for us. Manchester City are so fluid now. We were of hoping he (John Stones) wasn't going to play tonight.

"We have got a plan. we will see if it works. We have to commit to what we do. We are going to be aggressive and try and press. I want to give our fans something to shout about."

This trophy is the one the Newcastle fans want.

They have got a really good opportunity to go through to the quarter-finals.

This is the one they want. There are 7,000 Newcastle fans who have travelled down here. They have got the chance to win here and then who knows.

They are not going to get a Champions League place. They had a taste of getting to Wembley last season so Eddie Howe and the team will be desperate to do well here and get to the next stage of the competition.

The FA Cup is here.

This is a great opportunity for them to show what they can do and this is a big, big chance for them tonight.

For a moment Tom Cannon appears to be in for Leicester and he rounds goalkeeper Mark Travers but is then flagged offside. He just timed his run a bit too early.

I went to Newcastle to try and win things but also because I wanted to wear the number 9 shirt and score goals at the Gallowgate End where I used to stand as a kid.

For me to go and break Jackie Milburn's record was amazing.

Luton's priority is to stay in the Premier League. They need the feel-good factor back. Manchester City know how to win these games. The amount of games they have coming up won't bother them. The players who are coming in are of pure quality.

Pep throws hand grenades at his own dressing room. He knows how to keep his players on edge.

It wouldn't have happened without him.

He was the one that put us all together and created the system and it never would have happened without Kenny [Dalglish].

There were so many players that came for him and he made it work.
