Leeds United will want to bounce back this Saturday after last week’s 3-3 draw against Hull City.

Leeds face Harrogate Town in the FA Cup in what is an all-Yorkshire affair, as Daniel Farke will be hoping to respond with a comfortable win.

During the Hull encounter, Leeds fans were livid with Illan Meslier after the goalkeeper was at fault for all three Tigers goals.

It will be an interesting prospect to see if the keeper will start on Saturday in the FA Cup, as Farke could make changes.

Another player who grabbed the headlines in the encounter last Saturday has made a claim on Farke’s side.

Abu Kamara praises Leeds United amid Instagram controversy

Abu Kamara scored twice against Leeds opening the scoring and equalising for the game to end 3-3.

The Hull City attacker found himself in controversy last week after he posted a poorly timed Instagram message following Hull’s defeat to Middlesbrough on New Year’s Day, and was criticised for his part in the lead-up to Boro’s goal.

Kamara used emojis in response to a tweet by Portsmouth, where he was on loan last season, but he certainly made amends with his brace against Leeds last week.

Ahead of the Tigers’ clash with Doncaster Rovers in the FA Cup, Kamara talked to Hull Live and spoke on last Saturday’s Leeds encounter.

“I want to keep the momentum going and build on what I’ve built here (against Leeds),” Kamara said.

“We were together right until the end and you saw against Leeds where we got the draw because everyone was fully invested in what we had to do to get the point.

“Leeds are a top team so to come away with a point shows we are ready to battle against anyone.”

Leeds will need a comfortable win in the FA Cup for confidence

In the last few weeks, the Whites have slightly let their form slip, and Leeds’ 3-3 draw against Hull will need to be amended on Saturday.

Leeds could be three points clear at the top of the Championship, but Kamara’s brace has limited their lead to just one point over Burnley.

Farke said he sussed out what Hull were doing on Saturday but it turned out it wasn’t enough to get the win.

Leeds will now have to be careful this Saturday to try and avoid a ‘cupset’ against Harrogate Town and instead regain a bit of confidence back with a convincing win at Elland Road.

With plenty of changes expected for Leeds, Farke’s side will need to be at 100%, despite the 68-position gap in the football league.
