Ipswich Town bid for FA Cup glory in tough fourth round replay at Burnley
Blues drew nil - nil with the Championship table toppers at Portman Road
Last updated 7th Feb 2023
Ipswich Town have another chance at FA Cup glory tonight as the Tractor Boys head to Burnley in a fourth round replay.
The Clarets were held to a 0 - 0 draw at Portman Road last month.
A win tonight would see Town progress to the last-eight for the first time since 2007.
If they progress, Ipswich would face either Fleetwood or Sheffield Wednesday, pending the result of their replay tonight.
Town boss Kieran McKenna says he's expecting a 'real test', as his squad comes up against the Championship table toppers for a second time in the space of a few weeks.
Speaking to the ITFC website, he said: "We have players available and competing for positions and we want to keep the squad fresh."
"A lot has to be considered this evening and we want to pick a team that will be suitable for the challenge.
"I think there are things we can take from the previous game, especially with how we showed our identity and how we were both on and off the ball.
"But tonight will be an even bigger challenge. We have to find belief and show what we can do, but also respect them because if we're not at our best things will be very tough.
"They are consistent with their approach to matches but they are also flexible in their setup. We'll look to play to our strengths, even though we're away from home and against a very good team.
"We can take confidence from the performance at Portman Road, and tonight is a challenge we will take head on."
