Newport County will be looking to reach the Fifth Round of the FA Cup for just the second time in their history when they host Championship side Middlesbrough this evening.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

<\/p>\n

The Exiles scored late on in the reverse fixture to force tonight\u2019s replay where a win will see them welcome European giants Man City to Rodney Parade.<\/p>\n

County winger Keanu Marsh-Brown said \u201cIt\u2019s a huge game for the club. I\u2019ve played in a play-off final at Wembley, but for me this is bigger.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe won\u2019t be thinking about Man City in the next round, because we have a strong Boro side to get past first before that becomes a possibility.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a really big deal for the fans as well, being able to have these sort of clubs playing on your doorstep is what being a football fan is all about.\u201d<\/p>\n

Newport goalkeeper Joe Day is making a return after missing the first tie with his wife expecting twins.<\/p>\n

Padraig Amond, Mark O’Brien and Dan Butler were all on the bench for Saturday’s 3-0 defeat against Grimsby.<\/p>\n

They are set to return tonight.<\/p>\n

Middlesbrough manager, Tony Pulis, who returns to his boyhood club, is switching his team around for his side’s forth game in 12 days.<\/p>\n

Lewis Wing\u00a0looks unlikely to play\u00a0due to recently suffering from a groin injury.<\/p>\n

A fifth-round tie against Manchester City could result from this game.<\/p>\n

Newport manager, Michael Flynn says “I am not thinking about Man City one bit, not a chance.<\/p>\n

“This could end up like Bullseye – Bully’s special prize, look what you could have won.<\/p>\n

“I have too much respect for Tony Pulis, too much respect for Middlesbrough Football Club, and that is all I’m thinking about”.<\/p>\n

Newport County have lost in all three previous meetings with Middlesbrough but fans hope tonight will be different.<\/p>\n
