Live commentary on BBC Radio 5 Live.
Ipswich boss Kieran McKenna made 11 changes when his side beat Coventry in round four and I suspect he will do something similar here.
You might have heard about ‘Sutton’s Super Computer’, which were the calculations I did for the Monday Night Club this week, where I worked out the results of all the remaining Premier League fixtures.
According to my secret formula, which is obviously extremely scientific, the Tractor Boys only have an outside chance of staying up. Along with Leicester they were in my ‘no-hopers’ category.
Maybe Ipswich can surprise me and go on an FA Cup run, but you have to fancy Nottingham Forest here.
Defeat would just leave a grim fight against relegation for McKenna’s side, so I feel for my daughter’s teacher, Mr Fields, who regular readers will know follows the Tractor Boys, but not so much for my 5 Live colleague Ali Bruce-Ball who is a phony Ipswich supporter – when I asked him, he could not remember the last time he went to watch them as a fan.
One thing I really can’t stand are people like Bruce who attach themselves to a club which has a bit of success, claiming some tenuous link from the past.
My boyhood team Forest may make changes too because they are still in a good position for a Champions League spot, but I am backing Chris Wood to come off the bench and get us a winner.
Sutton’s prediction: 2-1 after extra time
Josh’s prediction: Forest are another throwback team who do not seem to have had a decent Cup run for a long time. 2-0
Josh’s favourite FA Cup final of the 1990s: Spurs versus Forest in 1991 was a really important and seismic one, because of Gazza [Paul Gascoigne] and what it did to his career.
There were some other great ones too, though, like 1997 when Middlesbrough lost to Chelsea. That was quite fun because of Roberto di Matteo’s goal after 47 seconds.
Then there was 1995 when Manchester United lost to Everton after they had been going for the Double and lost everything, and even 1993 was interesting because Arsenal and Sheffield Wednesday met in both domestic cup finals. I’m not going to, but you could write a book about the history of 90s football based around those finals, because they mattered so much then.
