We have a series of FA Cup fourth round replays this week including the meeting between Burnley and Ipswich Town. The game will be played at Turf Moor and the hosts are currently top of the Championship while the visitors are third in League One.
Burnley come into the match on the back of a 3-0 win at Norwich City in the Championship on the weekend. It took just 8 minutes for Burnley to open the scoring and they added two goals in the first 15 minutes of the second half to take maximum points.

The win leaves them 7 points clear at the top of the Championship and they are highly likely to win promotion to the Premier League this season.
Trends show Burnley are undefeated in their last 8 matches in all competitions. They have lost only 1 of their last 13 fixtures and the defeat came at Manchester United in the League Cup.
Burnley have won 15 of their 18 most recent games in all competitions and have won each of their last 10 home matches.
In terms of the FA Cup, Burnley defeated Premier League Bournemouth 4-2 away in the third round before being held to a 0-0 draw at Ipswich Town in the fourth round, hence this replay.
Burnley have won only 1 of their 4 most recent home FA Cup ties and that was via penalties following a 1-1 draw with Milton Keynes Dons in 2021.
Ipswich Town travel to Turf Moor having picked up a point thanks to a 1-1 draw at Cambridge United in League One on the weekend.
It was Cambridge United who opened the scoring in the first half but Ipswich Town equalised early in the second half. That result means Ipswich Town are currently 6 points off the automatic promotion places in League One.
The draw at Cambridge United means Ipswich Town are undefeated in 8 of their last 9 matches in all competitions.
However, despite being difficult to beat, Ipswich Town have picked up just 3 wins from their last 10 fixtures. The wins have all come at home in League One and the FA Cup third round.
Trends show Ipswich Town have failed to win any of their last 5 away games but in their 8 most recent matches in the FA Cup, Ipswich Town have been undefeated 7 times.
Team news and Burnley are expected to be without Benson Manuel, Jay Rodriguez, Arijanet Muric, and Taylor Harwood-Bellis.
Ipswich Town made several changes to their strongest XI for the first meeting and could do so again, with George Hirst and Kayden Jackson among those starting.
With home advantage, Burnley must start as favourites to progress. We expect both teams to make changes to their team from the weekend and that could make for a scrappy contest. Just one goal could be enough to see Burnley through.
