Joe on Cup Draw - Ipswich Town News
Town boss Joe Royle says he expects the Blues' fourth round FA Cup tie with Sunderland to be a cracker.
Royle told the club site: "A home draw saves our fans travelling and it's an attractive tie as well.
"We lost out in a five-goal thriller at the Stadium of Light earlier in the season so we have a chance to exact some revenge for that.
"Sunderland are in the top six of the First Division like ourselves and have some good players, so it should be a cracking game and it's one we will be looking forward to."
