Fulham boss Marco Silva has warned his team that it will be "difficult to predict" how Javi Gracia's Leeds United will line-up ahead of their fifth round FA Cup clash, as he looked forward to a "proper cup tie".
A place in the quarter-finals of the historic competition await one of Leeds or Fulham, as the two Premier League sides go head to head in the nation's capital. The Cottagers have been flying high in the top-flight this term, but a disappointing 1-1 draw at home to Wolves in their last match would have given the Whites some cautious optimism going into the game.
Gracia's side claimed their first league victory against Southampton last weekend in the Spaniard's first game in charge. And it is the fact that the former Watford boss - who replaced Silva at Vicarage Road back in 2018 - has only been in charge at Elland Road for one game that raises concerns for Silva heading into the game.
