A home tie against Sheffield Wednesday or Fleetwood awaits the winners of Town's fourth round FA Cup replay at Burnley.

The Owls and Cod Army, who signed former Blues striker Jack Marriott from Peterborough today, drew 1-1 at Hillsborough on Saturday.

Wednesday are second in League One, four points ahead of Town with a game in hand, while Fleetwood are 17th.

They will meet again in a replay at the Highbury Stadium in just over a week's time with Town similarly travelling to Turf Moor to take on the Clarets.

The Blues' only FA Cup meeting with the Owls was at the fifth round stage in 1985 when Town won 3-2 at Portman Road when George Burley, Romeo Zondervan and Alan Sunderland were the scorers.

Town, who were last in the fifth round in 2007, have never faced Fleetwood in the competition.

Fifth round matches will played in the midweek commencing Monday 27th February.

FA Cup Fifth Round
1 Southampton v Luton Town or Grimsby Town
2 Leicester City v Blackburn Rovers or Birmingham City
3 Stoke City v Brighton & Hove Albion
4 Wrexham or Sheffield United v Tottenham Hotspur
5 Fulham or Sunderland v Leeds United
6 Bristol City v Manchester City
7 Manchester United v Derby County or West Ham United
8 Ipswich Town or Burnley v Sheffield Wednesday or Fleetwood

TimmyH added 19:32 - Jan 30 Well as underwhelming as the tie is it would certainly be an opportunity to get to the quarter-finals...if we managed to beat Burnley away (long shot).

OliveR16 added 19:42 - Jan 30 I think we might be wise to reflect that Burnley will be pleased with this draw too . . . with some reason.

thecheek added 19:54 - Jan 30 Really wish we'd played our strongest team against Burnley at home Whoever we put out in the replay at their place it's odds against we'll get a result...

dirtydingusmagee added 20:08 - Jan 30 Nice draw if we get past Burnley, i like the FA Cup. here's hoping , COYB .

HopefulBlue69 added 20:23 - Jan 30 Now comes the big dilemma.... Do we really want to put our strongest team out against Burnley, still probably get beaten and then have to pick the players up from the gloom to go again in the league against Sheff Wed who will have just beaten Fleetwood... Alternatively we can disappoint a lot of fans and play a second string team and keep the first team fresh to play a tired Sheff Wed.... Surely the league has to be the priority....2

DaGremloid added 20:44 - Jan 30 No, play our strongest team against Burnley and if we win, play our strongest team in the 5th round. They're paid to play football, not sit in the stands.

BobbyBell added 20:56 - Jan 30 This where our strong squad comes into play. Six points and a cup win would be a dream week. Every game is important now and we must trust KM to make the right choices.

thatsbonkers added 22:41 - Jan 30 IpswichT62 I see a lot of similarities between Zondervan and Morsey. Both good on the ball and make good, simple and yet progressive passes look easy.

Gforce added 22:53 - Jan 30 If we somehow beat Burnley, then get through the Wednesday game,we are potentially 1 game from Wembley, as the semi finals are now held there.We can at least dream.

DaGremloid added 23:00 - Jan 30 Gforce - we could have beaten Burnley if our first choice team had been chosen when we had them at home.

MickMillsTash added 23:12 - Jan 30 That 1985 FA Cup Run Alan Sunderland was offside for the winner I still insist that Russel Osman was outside the box when the ball hit his hand in the Everton quarter final replay, And if Company complained about the pitch on Saturday- he would have cried about the battle field that those games were played on Not forgetting from 85 - Ken Brown bribed the referee

Gforce added 23:23 - Jan 30 TexacoCup........About 500/1 !!

Fat_Boy_Tim added 23:27 - Jan 30 You know, I don't think we can put out a really bad side at the moment. Our second 11 would (arguably) be Hladky Donacien - Keogh - Burgess - Leigh Humphries - Luongo Harness, Aluko, Edwards Hurst That looks pretty strong to me and I Imagine that this is somewhere close to the side we'll put out. I think Burnley might do similar to their team. The pitch (I assume without any evidence at all) will be better than ours is ATM and, in an odd way, I don't think that hurts or helps either team. We have a chance at Burnley, and that 11 won't hurt our chances against Sheff Wed at all.
