Fulham have been confirmed as Leeds United's FA Cup fifth round opposition after the Cottagers beat Sunderland at the Stadium of Light on Wednesday evening in their fourth round replay.
Leeds made it past the fourth round of the FA Cup for the first time since 2016 with a 3-1 win over Accrington Stanley at the Wham Stadium at the end of last month. The result would be Jesse Marsch's last victory at the club, with the American sacked just over a week later following a 1-0 defeat to Nottingham Forest in the Premier League.
As their name was drawn out of the hat, the Whites knew that a win against Sunderland or Fulham was all that stood in their way between them and a place in the quarter-finals and now they know they must get past a fellow top-flight opponent in order to do so.
