Burnley will be looking to carry their impressive form into the FA Cup as they travel to Ipswich Town in the fourth round.
Ipswich have already dumped out one Championship team in this year’s FA Cup as they claimed a 4-1 victory over Rotherham United in the previous round. They had four different scorers with Conor Chaplin and Freddie Ladapo among the goals.
That result has been the only high point in recent weeks for Ipswich Town, who have claimed just one win in their last five matches. They head into Saturday’s clash off the back of a 2-1 defeat to Oxford United in League One.
The good news for Ipswich Town is that their form at Portman Road has remained solid as they are unbeaten in their last six matches in front of their fans. However, Kieran McKenna’s men were held to a 1-1 draw by Plymouth Argyle in their previous home fixture.
Burnley also did some giant killing of their own in the previous round as they claimed a 4-2 victory over Premier League side Bournemouth. They were the dominant side throughout the encounter with Anass Zaroury and Benson Manuel each getting a brace.
Sitting top of the Championship, Burnley are looking almost unstoppable at the moment. Vincent Kompany’s men have won nine of their last 10 matches across all competitions and travel to Ipswich Town off the back of a 2-1 victory over West Brom in a Championship fixture last Friday.
The result at Bournemouth also highlights a solid record for Burnley on their travels as they have won four of their last five away matches across all competitions. However, defending remains a problem having kept just two clean sheets in their last eight matches on the road.
