We said: Leicester City 2-1 Blackburn Rovers (a.e.t)

It is not difficult to envisage an in-form Blackburn putting their more esteemed opponents to the sword on Tuesday, but the Foxes gave Man United several scares last week and could have easily come away from their clash against Arsenal with a point on another day. Extra time may be required to settle this intriguing battle, but we still have faith in Rodgers's side to return to their goalscoring ways and book themselves another quarter-final date, as Blackburn are left to rue their depleted attacking ranks.
