No Cup Date Set - Ipswich Town News
No decision has yet been made on the date of Town's FA Cup fourth round tie with Sheffield United. Sheffield Wednesday were also in the hat for round four and could also have a home tie scheduled on the same weekend.
The Owls' third round tie with Gillingham was postponed at the weekend and will be played at the Priestfield Staium tonight. The winner will face Leeds United at home.
If Sheffield hosts two fourth round ties it is highly unlikely that both would be played on the same day and therefore, despite neither game looking a likely TV candidate, one looks certain to be played on the Sunday.
The games will be played on 25/26 January.
