The Cobblers drew 2-2 with his Sunderland side in 2008, before losing on penalties.
Sampson told BBC Radio Northampton: "Ipswich have got a manager who demands excellence, just like how he played. He called [that result] one of his worst times in football. Hopefully we can do that again to him. But they won't rest players - it's a big game."
Northampton have beaten Brighton & Hove Albion, Reading and Liverpool in their Carling Cup campaign so far.
The tie will take place in the weeking beginning 25 October.
