Town Ball 20 in Tonight's FA Cup Draw - Ipswich Town News

Town will be ball number 20 in the draw for the third round of the Emirates FA Cup, which takes place this evening at 7.10pm live on BBC2 and BT Sport.

Steven Gerrard and Ian Wright will be the men charged with picking out the ties at the BT Tower during BT Sport’s coverage of the Oldham Athletic-Lincoln City second round tie. Third round matches will be played between January 6th and 9th.

Last season the Blues were beaten at the third round stage by League Two Portsmouth - featuring Adam Webster - after a replay.
