” Saturday’s game isn’t the only cup tie Town will be involved in this week with Tractor Girls hosting Lewes at the AGL Arena in Felixstowe on Sunday and the U18s in FA Youth Cup action against Liverpool at Portman Road on Friday. “It’s nice to be fighting on all fronts, ” McKenna said. “Everyone is looking forward to the Youth Cup game next Friday. The girls have got a big game on Sunday and, of course, we have a big game this weekend. “Let’s hope that at the end of it, a couple of those teams – if not all three – can still be in their respective competitions.

“It’s a big credit to them. We hope to do it justice and I just hope they enjoy it, to be honest. “It’s a game we all have to enjoy. You have to win a few rounds to get here, you can always say when you’ve got through that it was easy, but if it was easy, then the club would be in the fourth round every year. “The club, the players have done well to get to this point and it’s important that we go on and enjoy the challenge now and take it head on.
” Town will be playing their first fourth-round FA Cup tie since January 2010 when they were beaten 2-1 at Southampton. The Blues’ last fourth-round tie at Portman Road was back in January 2007 when an Alan Lee penalty saw Jim Magilton’s side to a 1-0 win and through to their most recent fifth-round match, a 1-0 defeat at Watford. Asked about making it through to the next stage for the first time in 16 years and extending Town's run, McKenna said: “It’s nice to dream and if we don’t dream of the next round and don’t believe we can win the game, then there’s no point turning up. We certainly do and we know the fans are turning up in big numbers, which is fantastic.
They have won their last six in all competitions with their only defeat in their last 11 a 2-0 Carabao Cup loss at Manchester United. They have won the other 10 since their most recent league loss, a 5-2 reverse away against the Blades on November 5th. Since their last draw, a 1-1 stalemate at Birmingham on October 19th, the Clarets have won 14 out of 16 and have lost only three games this season in all competitions. Away from home in the league, they have won seven, drawn four and lost two, the fourth-best form on the road in their division. In round three of the FA Cup, they won 4-2 away at AFC Bournemouth with Manuel Benson and Anass Zaroury netting two apiece. Town go into the match off the back of Tuesday’s 4-0 mauling of Morecambe at Portman Road, however, McKenna says that hasn’t really had much of an impact on his preparations for the visit by the Clarets. “It’s not changed much, to be honest, ” he said.
“It’s the first time we have had a fourth-round game in quite a while and the first fourth-round game at Portman Road in many years. “We just have to enjoy the occasion. We know it’s going to be really tough and we know they are a really high level opponent. But we have to enjoy it. As a group of staff and players, and I hope as a club and supporters, we enjoy the challenge. “We want to be bringing big clubs and good teams to Portman Road both in the league and in the cup competitions. The only way we are going to do that is by keep improving and progressing and keep winning matches.
“This game is a reward for getting through the tricky early rounds and beating Rotherham in the last round. It’s a fantastic competition and it will be a dream to go even further. But we can only look at the next game with excitement, with humility and do everything we can. ” McKenna says he hasn’t crossed paths with Clarets boss Kompany previously: “No, I haven’t. We know some people mutually but I haven’t before but I can only say he’s obviously doing a very, very good job at Burnley. “A fantastic player, I enjoyed watching him, he was the study for lots of defensive best practice videos that I would have done as a young coach and was a fantastic defender, and is now transferring that well to his teams in terms of how they defend but also how they build and attack with the ball. ” McKenna sees aspects of the Manchester City side with whom Kompany won the Premier League four times, the FA Cup twice and the League Cup on four occasions in the forme Belgian international's Burnley team.

“And also make good use of the players who have been at Burnley for a long time in the Premier League. “They have put that together into a formidable team and you have to say credit to them for that. There are things, as a football club, that we can take and learn from that journey and we are looking forward to testing ourselves against them tomorrow. ” Like Town, Burnley are likely to make changes from their strongest Championship line-up. Would McKenna prefer to be testing his team against their strongest XI? “They have got such a good squad that they are able to change personnel, ” he continued. “They are able to change their strikers – [Jay] Rodriguez and [Ashley] Barnes have both been playing and doing a really good job. “In wide areas, they have two players sharing each role who have been doing a really good job.
So they have really good depth and equal quality in a lot of positions and they have of course added two more players this week as well. I think whatever team they play, it’s going to be a really strong Burnley team. “It would have been nice to play them in a free week instead of coming off a Saturday-Tuesday with some knocks and niggles. It would have been nice to play them in a free week with a bit more time to build up to it and go into it completely fresh, but that’s not the case. “I know Burnley will have a strong team out and I know our team will be ready to fight with everything as we did in the last round against Rotherham. “We want to fight and compete and show we are a good team and make it difficult for Burnley, and do everything we can to still be in the hat on Saturday night.
