The only previous FA Cup meeting between Coventry City and Ipswich Town came in the second round in 2019-20 with the Sky Blues advancing via a replay that they won 2-1 at Portman Road.

Ipswich Town have won their last two games against Coventry City and could win three in a row against the Sky Blues in all competitions for the first time since September 2007 under Jim Magilton.

Having lost to Manchester United on penalties in the semi-final last year, Coventry are looking to reach the fifth round of the FA Cup in consecutive campaigns for the first time since 2007-08/2008-09.

Ipswich are looking to reach the FA Cup fifth round for just the second time in the 21st century, previously doing so in 2006-07. They were eliminated at this stage of the competition last season by non-league Maidstone United.

Both of Coventry’s last two FA Cup ties have gone to a penalty shootout, losing last season’s semi-final against Manchester United before beating Sheffield Wednesday in this season’s third round – no team has ever seen three consecutive FA Cup ties go to penalties before (first round onwards).
