Gary Bowyer's Championship outfit earned an FA Cup third-round replay by holding City, placed second in the Premier League, to a 1-1 draw at Ewood Park on January 4, with Scott Dann's second-half equaliser cancelling out Alvaro Negredo's opener for the visitors.

City's last home match ended in a 6-0 thrashing of West Ham in their League Cup semi-final first leg last week, which saw the in-form Negredo bag his second hat-trick for the club after his close-season move from Sevilla.
