10'
Andrew Keogh tailed by Olsson. Fails to make contact with the ball trying a cross on the run. That will be a goalkick to the home side.
9'
Best with a late push on the back of Shittu and that will be a free-kick to the visiting side.
8'
Blackburn Rovers are one of only two teams (with Man City) yet to concede a goal in the FA Cup proper this season
7'
N'Guessan takes up a decent position out wide, but ends up lifting the ball straight out of play on the other side. Poor delivery really.
6'
The Shittu-Best duel should be an interesting one today. Kean with another ball long down the park from Dann's passback.
5'
Millwall have only failed to score in one of their last 15 FA Cup games at the New Den. Tells you enough about their form in this competition.
4'
Pedersen back to Kean, who hammers the ball long down the park. Very much a hectic atmosphere inside The Den for this one.
3'
Chris Taylor caught late by Bentley and the home side have a free-kick out wide. Taylor throws the ball in, but Rovers do enough to clear the danger.
2'
Dany N'Guessan snuffed out at one end before Shittu does just enough to hold off Rhodes at the other end as he raced into the box. Both teams starting strongly.

Millwall get the match off and running then. Ideal day for football if the wind calms down. Over 20,000 inside The Den for this one.
13:55
The odds for this match in case you are after a punt on this one: Millwall 6/4, Blackburn Rovers 19/10, Draw 21/10.
13:50
The Lions have not won four successive FA Cup games outright On home soil, Millwall have lost just two of their last 18 FA Cup games - winning 11 and drawing five. Rovers are one of only two teams (with Man City) yet to concede a goal in the FA Cup proper this season.
13:45
This is the first FA Cup quarter-final not to feature a Premier League side since 2008, when West Brom thumped Bristol Rovers 5-1. Rovers have won both previous FA Cup meetings with Millwall; they won 2-1 in round three of the 1978/79 competition and 1-0 in round four back in 2001/02.
13:40
Michael Appleton (Blackburn): "I think this is an opportunity to put the league to bed for a few days. We've got a great opportunity to go and play at Wembley, it has been a while since the football club did that. So I'm sure the players will grasp that, they've got an opportunity to do something special."
13:35
Kenny Jackett (Millwall): "I just think it is a great opportunity, if you had a choice you would take a home game all day. We are going to sell it out, pack the place, there will be a great atmosphere there and the crowd will be behind us and it is just a fantastic opportunity and if that makes us favourites we just have to look at the chance we have got."
13:30
Leon Best make his first Blackburn start. Best, who suffered cruciate knee ligament damage shortly after a £3 million summer move from Newcastle, made his long-awaited Rovers debut from the bench during the closing stages of Tuesday's night's 1-0 Championship defeat at Bolton. The Republic of Ireland international partners Jordan Rhodes in attack as DJ Campbell is cup-tied. Campbell's fellow loanees Cameron Stewart and David Jones are also unavailable.
13:25
Millwall hand a start to Rob Hulse. The on-loan QPR striker has missed the last three matches with a stomach injury but returns. Martyn Woolford is cup-tied and fellow winger James Henry was this week ruled out for the rest of the season due to a knee injury. The Lions have also lost on-loan Arsenal forward Benik Afobe to a cruciate ligament injury, although he too would have been ineligible.
