Yesterday in the Third round draw for the FA Cup, just 24 hours after beating Derby County at Portman Road, the blues were drawn against George Burley's side again for a home tie which will take place on January 3rd.

Speaking of the Draw, Royle revealed although he was taking the cup seriously, he would experiment with his side: "I see this cup tie as a chance to give one or two players a game, who have not been regulars,"

"Of course we will be treating the FA Cup very seriously. It's very important for the club financially, but I am planning to make one or two changes. We know all about Derby, having played them twice recently."
