Goalkeeper previews Tuesday's cup clash

Bailey Peacock-Farrell is hoping the Clarets can use the Turf Moor advantage on Tuesday night as Vincent Kompany's men take on Ipswich Town in the Emirates FA Cup fourth round replay.

Burnley will be looking to book their place in the last 16 of the competition and set up a fifth round tie at home against either Sheffield Wednesday or Fleetwood Town

But Northern Ireland international Peacock-Farrell knows that Kieran McKenna's side, who currently sit third in the Sky Bet League One table, will pose a tough test on the night.

The 25-year-old said: "There's a big incentive for us to go and win tomorrow night. We want to do well in the cup and we have a big squad to handle it.'

"We're really excited for it, but it will be a difficult test against Ipswich they're a good side and have done well this season in the league.

"The pitch and weather conditions weren't great when we played down there so i think it will be a much more cleaner game of football this time.

"But we're back at home where we are unbeaten this season and the fans have been great for us, we will need them again on Tuesday and use it to our advantage."

Peacock-Farrell added: "Hopefully we are both able to showcase what we can do, playing out from the back and the passing styles from both sides.

"They gave us a good match down there and I'm sure they will again on Tuesday, it should be a really good game with two good sides."

The cup clash will give the opportunity for Kompany to hand minutes to other members of the squad and rest others where needed over the upcoming hectic February month of fixtures.

Peacock-Farrell believes the Clarets have a big enough squad to enjoy a cup run and a successful league campaign.

The shot-stopper explained: "I think when Vinny came in he wanted at least two starting eleven's in his eyes and that's technically what we have.

"It's another opportunity for everyone to get more minutes and stay topped up for the league as well.

"We have a lot of players and everyone is pushing each other no matter who is starting and that will be the case again tomorrow night."
