When is the FA Cup quarter-final draw? TV channel, details and ball numbers as Leeds United await fate

Leeds United are looking to be in the draw for the quarter-finals of the FA Cup for the first time since 2003 as they take on Fulham in the fifth round on Tuesday night.

Leeds know that victory over Fulham would see them progress to the quarter-finals of the FA Cup for the first time since the 2002/03 season when they came up against Sheffield United.

The Whites are just two wins away from a trip to Wembley and although those dreams will be put to one side for now, Javi Gracia would love nothing more than to maintain the winning feeling in West Yorkshire following his arrival last week.
