Live updates from the King Power Stadium as Blackburn Rovers face Leicester City for a place in the FA Cup quarter-finals.

Hello and welcome to live coverage of Blackburn Rovers' trip to the King Power Stadium. Rovers are trying to draw Leicester onto them and use Dolan's pace on the break to hurt them. Look a threat on the break. Szmodics in the end snuffed out by Amartey. There is the fine lines playing out against this opposition. Morton's touch is heavy in midfield, Leicester pinch it and break. Dangerous corners whipped in and they've got Leicester defending for their lives. Szmodics squares it for Dolan to tap in and somehow Iversen saves it. Interesting that Barnes appears to be following Rankin-Costello when he wanders from right-back. Jon Dahl Tomasson's side will be confident after knocking West Ham United out of the Carabao Cup in December. They'll be backed by over 2,500 away fans as Rovers look to make it a memorable night.
