Town to Host Burnley in FA Cup Fourth Round Sunday, 8th Jan 2023 16:10
Town have drawn Championship leaders Burnley at home in the fourth round of the FA Cup.
The clubs have never previously met in the FA Cup with the only cup match between the sides an October 1977 League Cup third round tie which Town won 2-1 at Turf Moor.
The teams last faced one another in the Championship in 2015/16 when Town won 2-0 at Portman Road, while the game in Lancashire ended in a 0-0 draw.
Overall, the Blues have won 19 games between the teams - including that League Cup tie - with 11 ending in draws and Burnley winning 13.
Yesterday, Burnley won 4-2 away against AFC Bournemouth in round three with Anass Zaroury and Manuel Benson both netting a brace.
The Clarets, who are managed by former Manchester City captain Vincent Kompany, are currently five points clear at the top of the Championship having taken 56 points from 26 games.
Fourth round ties will be played over the weekend of January 28th. The Blues' home game against Accrington Stanley will be rescheduled as a result of Town progressing beyond the third round for the first time since 2009/10.

Always got a chance at home...if Sheff Wed can beat Newcastle (though mainly their B side) then we can do Burnley, get near a full crowd and you never know.
Good to be at home in a winnable tie,a bit of a strange one really as both teams have more important things to play for, hopefully both teams will go do it as neither will want a replay.
