Their best era, of course, remains through the 1960s and 1970s, when they reached the final on four occasions and won it in 1972. This will be the first time Leeds have hosted a third round tie since January 2016.

Defeat followed in the fourth-round clash at Chelsea but a brilliant performance saw Leeds push the Stamford Bridge club close in a 3-2 thriller. Mateo Joseph scored twice for Daniel Farke’s side while Archie Gray put in an outstanding performance against a midfield worth well over £150million.
