Leeds United must suppress a potential new manager bounce when Cardiff City stroll into town on Wednesday night. Mark Hudson almost pulled off an FA Cup shock 10 days ago, conceding a last-gasp equaliser to force a replay at Elland Road.
However, he will not be in the dugout this week after receiving his P45 from the Bluebirds' hierarchy. Cardiff are without a win in nine games across all competitions and pulled the trigger on their manager following a 1-1 draw against Wigan Athletic.
Similarly to the Leeds clash, a stoppage-time equaliser prevented Hudson’s side from securing the win on home soil - costing him his job in the process. First-team coach Dean Whitehead will take charge of the third-round replay in midweek.
