Possible Local Derby Awaits

If Bolton can win their FA Cup fourth round replay with Arsenal next week then they will face a home tie against Blackburn Rovers in the fifth round of the competition some days later.

The draw for the fifth round which took place at 1:30pm today handed Wanderers their first possible cup meeting with Rovers since the 2000-2001 season when Blackburn took Bolton to a replay at Ewood Park and won the tie by 3-0.

However, the Trotters know they still have a lot of work to do if they are to beat ten times cup winners Arsenal.
