Peterborough United 0-3 Leeds United highlights: Bamford stunner steals Ampadu headlines in FA Cup win
The Whites' recent record in this competition has not made for pleasant reading, particularly against lower league opponents. This afternoon's opposition are third in the League One table, one division below the Elland Road club, and will be keen to defeat Farke's men to progress to the next round.
Led by Darren Ferguson, son of former Manchester United boss Sir Alex, 'Posh' are unbeaten in their last ten outings across all competitions, while their most recent defeat in the league came in early November, proving today's contest will be no Sunday afternoon walk-in-the-park.

Peterborough United vs Leeds United LIVE
FT: P'boro 0-3 Leeds United
Into the hat for the inevitable away draw. Ampadu (2) and Bamford with a quite ridiculous strike. Posh by no means rolled over but Leeds' quality told in the end. Back-to-back clean sheets. Rodon solid; Gray bossed the middle.
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOALLLLLLLLLLLL AMPAAAAA-DU-DU-DU 3-0
90' Into the Fourth Round. Corner whipped in invitingly and Ampadu gets the run on his man. Leaps in the centre and glances one past Talley. Two for the afternoon and one assist. Three for Leeds.
86' Anthony skips infield and hits one from the corner of the penalty area. Looping effort almost finds the Bamford zone™.
Leeds subs: James on for Gnonto; Kamara on for Bamford; Poveda on for Anthony.
Gray tidies up
77' Firpo beaten down his wing again by Ajiboye who crosses into the six-yard box. Takes a deflection on the way through and almost wrong-foots Klaesson. Goalkeeper gets a decisive toe to it, which falls at Gray's feet. He does well to avert danger.
Nearly a route back into it
74' Gray dummies to shoot with his right from the edge of the area, Posh defender buys it. Shuffles onto his left but can't hit the target. Over the top. Up the other end, Mason-Clark rifles one just wide of Klaesson's post after some good solo play.
Swing and a miss
72' Ajiboye makes a late run into the area and seems to thigh the ball goalward. Skips past Klaesson's post. Half-chance.
71' Anthony's cross cushioned into the path of Piroe by Bamford but the Dutchman's effort on the volley is blocked.
68' Ampadu booked for a foul on Jones. Free-kick P'boro. Shooting position. Home subs: Fernandez, Ajiboye and Mothersille on; Katongo, Poku and Jones off.
