Leeds United told they must 'turn up' ahead of 'awkward' Accrington Stanley FA Cup trip

BBC Sport pundit Chris Sutton has told Leeds United they must 'turn up' in this weekend's FA Cup bout otherwise League One opponents Accrington Stanley could make it 'awkward' for them.

The Whites needed a third round replay to get past Cardiff City but managed to dispatch of the Bluebirds in fantastic fashion at Elland Road in a 5-2 win last week.

But following Accrington's extra time win over Boreham Wood in their own third round replay, it's another away trip for Jesse Marsch's men that could cause problems.

Despite the 58 league table places between the two sides, Sutton still believes if the Whites don't go at the 'Owd Reds on the front foot, they could very easily be punished.

Writing for BBC Sport, he said: "Leeds needed a replay to see off Cardiff in round three, with their manager Jesse Marsch criticising his players after they had drawn the first game in Wales.

"They will have to be up for it from the start here, because Accrington boss John Coleman will make his side are right in Leeds' faces.

"If Leeds turn up, their quality will tell, but I can see Accrington making things awkward for them.

Sutton's prediction: 0-2.
