Burnley are currently 18 points clear of the third placed Watford, therefore they can be described as a team well on their way to an immediate return to the Premier League. Vincent Kompany’s side are on a six-game winning streak across all competitions, and that includes a 4-2 win over Premier League outfit Bournemouth in the previous round of the FA Cup on January 7. Last time out, the Clarets came from behind to take all three points against West Brom , courtesy of strikes from Nathan Tella and Scott Twine, in the final 25 minutes. Their last defeat came against Manchester United in the EFL Cup, last month.
Ipswich, on the other hand, thrashed Morecambe in their last outing, courtesy of a brace each from Freddie Ladapo and Conor Chaplin. It was the Tractor Boys’ first win in their last five league-games. The four-match winless streak in the third tier has resulted in Kieran McKenna’s side losing ground for the top two. Nevertheless, Ipswich defeated Championship side Rotherham United 4-1 in their FA Cup third round game on January 7. Cameron Humphreys, Conor Chaplin, Freddie Ladapo and Wes Burns found the back of the net for the Tractor Boys against the Millers.
Ipswich Town Probable line-up: Walton, Donacien, Keogh, Edmindson, Burns, Evans, Morsy, Davis, chaplin, Ladapo, Broadhead
Burnley probable line-up: Muric, Roberts, Beyer, Taylor, Maatsen, cullen, Bastien, Tella, Twine, Zaroury, Barnes
