Leeds United learn FA Cup fourth round date with club facing quick turnaround

Leeds United have confirmed that their FA Cup fourth round tie at either Accrington Stanley or Boreham Wood will be played on Saturday, January 28 at 12.30pm after it was selected for overseas live broadcast.

The Whites will face an away day at either Accrington or non-league Boreham Wood after they booked their place in the next round of the competition via a 5-2 victory over Cardiff City on Wednesday, after drawing the original tie 2-2 in the Welsh capital.

Wilfried Gnonto and Patrick Bamford both bagged brace, while Rodrigo notched his 12th goal of the season in all competitions. Callum Robinson grabbed two late consolations with a double of his own, but Leeds cruised comfortably into the fourth round for the first time since 2017.

Leeds will learn who their fourth round opponents will be when Accrington Stanley host Boreham Wood in their FA Cup third round replay on Tuesday, January 24 - giving them just a three-day turnaround to prepare for their fourth round away day.

The replay was originally scheduled to be played on Tuesday this week, but was postponed due to the freezing weather conditions at the Wham Stadium.

The previous meeting ended 1-1 at Meadow Park, after Boreham Wood's Lee Ndlovu's 78th-minute equaliser cancelled out Ryan Astley's sixth-minute opener earlier this month.
