Optimistic Leeds United fans might have one eye on a trip to Wembley this season after progressing to the latter stages of FA Cup. Daniel Farke’s side beat Birmingham City on penalties last weekend and have been rewarded for their efforts with a fifth-round home tie against Championship opposition in Norwich City.
Victory over Norwich next month would put Leeds into the quarter-finals for the first time since 2002/03 and leave them one victory away from a semi-final trip to Wembley. Premier League safety remains the clear priority but continue to pick up points at a good rate and they might even get the luxury of being able to focus on the cup.
Leeds don’t usually do FA Cup runs and they don’t do too well at Wembley either, but this squad are making a habit of doing the non-Leeds thing. And according to bookmakers Bet365, they are a promising sixth-favourite from the final 17 remaining teams to go all the way - take a look below.
