Looking to put their 2024 FA Cup embarrassment firmly behind them, Ipswich Town will welcome Bristol Rovers to Portman Road for a third-round clash on Sunday afternoon.
Ipswich Town:
Ipswich Town enter this FA Cup third-round clash determined to erase the memories of last season’s shock exit to non-league Maidstone United. Kieran McKenna's side, currently battling Premier League survival, have shown resilience in recent matches, securing a crucial four points against Chelsea and Fulham. With a rejuvenated strike partnership of Sammie Szmodics and Liam Delap, the Tractor Boys will look to build on their improving form. Despite their league struggles, Ipswich should have enough quality to overcome lower-tier opposition at Portman Road.
Bristol Rovers:
Bristol Rovers come into this fixture on the back of a morale-boosting 1-0 win over Cambridge United in League One, ending a seven-game winless run. Under new manager Inigo Calderon, the Gas face a daunting task as they aim to make a statement against Premier League opposition. With top scorer Promise Omochere sidelined and scoring woes evident, Rovers will need a defensively disciplined and opportunistic approach to have any chance of upsetting their higher-ranked hosts.
