Defending champions Man Utd are clearly the favorites not only in this particular fixture, but also in the entire tournament. But Owen Coyle's men could pull a surprise in this fixture, and it would be meaningless to run them out.

Team news
Blackburn
Sam Gallagher has been ruled out of this tie due to a knee problem, despite being one of the most dependable forwards in the team. Another former Man Utd man Corry Evans is also set to miss this clash due to injury, alongside Elliot Bennet, Lucas Joao and Hope Akpan.
Man Utd
Mourinho could reintroduce Wayne Rooney and Michael Carrick back into the starting lineup. Mkhitaryan could also return after recovering from illness.
Match forecast
Blackburn come into this mach having lost 2-1 to Sheffield Wednesday on Tuesday. But in the FA Cup, they beat Blackpool 2-0 in the previous round to book a place in the fifth phase of the tournament.
Jose Mourinho are fresh from beating Saint-Etienne 3-0 in the Europa League last Thursday when Zlatan Ibrahimovic scored his first-ever hattrick for the English club. In their last five games, the red devils have registered four wins and one draw, and failed to concede even a single goal.
Sunday's clash could see former Man Utd defender Wes Brown feature against his former employers. His experience will play a huge role in stopping the lethal attacking duo of Anthony Martial and Zlatan Ibrahimovic, and the marauding Henrikh Mkhitaryan. All in all, this should be a walk in the park for the Premier League side.
