How to watch today's Blackburn Rovers vs Wolves FA Cup game: Live stream, TV channel, and start time

Wolveshead into this FA Cup Fourth Round clash against Blackburn Rovers this Sunday as the clear favorites, boasting a superior squad and competing a tier above their Lancashire opponents.

Vitor Pereira's side will approach this contest brimming with confidence after an impressive victory over Aston Villa in their previous outing. In contrast, Blackburn endured a disappointing 2-1 defeat against QPR, marking their fourth loss in five Championship matches.

Leading the charge for Wolves is Matheus Cunha, who has been in scintillating form this season. The ex-Atlético Madrid forward has netted 11 goals and provided four assists across 24 appearances, and he’ll back himself to add to that tally at Ewood Park.

John Eustace has guided Blackburn Rovers to an impressive first half of the campaign, with their primary focus set on securing a playoff spot. As a result, a deep cup run may not be at the top of their priority list. The hosts arrive at this fixture struggling for consistency, having suffered four defeats in their last five outings.

Performances at Ewood Park have been considerably stronger than their showings on the road. Rovers have averaged 1.38 goals per game at home, a stark contrast to their 0.87 goals per match away from home. Defensively, they’ve also been solid in front of their own fans, keeping clean sheets in 44% of their home fixtures.
