Town will take on the Reds on Friday January 24th at 8pm should Blues beat Preston in a replay

Town will play Nottingham Forest on Friday, January 24 at 8pm in the FA Cup fourth round, should Blues beat Preston in a replay at Deepdale on Tuesday.

Mick McCarthy’s side take on the Lilywhites in a third round replay on Tuesday, following the 1-1 stalemate at Portman Road recently.

Due to Forest’s near-neighbours Notts County being in league action on the Saturday, any potential cup tie against the Reds for Town will be played on the Friday, with an 8pm kick-off.

Both clubs have been in discussion about the game and pricing structure, with tickets to be priced at £10 for adults and £5 for over 65’s and under 18’s.
