Leeds United: FA Cup fifth round draw date and details, good chance of lower league opposition

Jesse Marsch’s Whites booked their place in the competition’s last 16 with a 3-1 victory in Saturday lunchtime’s fourth round clash at League One hosts Accrington Stanley.

That septet will be joined by Leeds plus favourites Manchester City, Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspur, Brighton, Leicester City and Southampton in addition to one of Fulham or Sunderland and Derby County or West Ham United.
