Clarets take on Tractor Boys at Turf in Fourth Round replay

Swedish defender up for February prize

Burnley’s Emirates FA Cup journey continues on Tuesday evening – 7th February – with the second instalment of a Fourth Round tie against Ipswich Town as the Tractor Boys visit Turf Moor (7.45pm KO).

Vincent Kompany’s side played out a goalless draw in Suffolk against the same opponents 10 days ago to set up this replay in East Lancashire. The winner will host Sheffield Wednesday or Fleetwood Town next time out in the competition.

Since, the Clarets have already had another trip to East Anglia as they faced Norwich City at Carrow Road last weekend, running out 3-0 winners.

Anass Zaroury kicked things off with an early goal, with Vitinho and January signing Hjalmar Ekdal also getting on the scoresheet in the second half.

That extended the winning run in the league to nine consecutive games, and Burnley remain top of the Sky Bet Championship.

Where to Watch?

Tickets remain on sale for Tuesday night’s game online, over the phone and in person at the ticket office.

Ipswich Town

Town sit 3rd in the table in what is their fourth consecutive season in Sky Bet League One, and are firmly in the promotion mix.

Headed up by ex-Manchester United coach Kieran McKenna, the Blues are six points outside the automatic promotion spots at the time of writing.

The Tractor Boys have lost only two of their last 10 in all competitions, and last time out drew 1-1 away at Cambridge United thanks to Freddie Ladapo’s second half leveller.

The Last Time we Met

Prior to the goalless draw at Portman Road 10 days ago, the two sides hadn’t met since the 2015/16 Championship season which saw Burnley promoted to the Premier League.

Burnley were beaten 2-0 by Ipswich in Suffolk that season, before drawing 0-0 at Turf Moor in January 2016.

The Clarets last win at home against Tuesday’s opponents came in April 2014 when Michael Kightly’s second half strike made the difference in a 1-0 victory. After that game, Burnley celebrated promotion up to the Premier League!
