Leeds United face Millwall in the FA Cup on Saturday as they aim to reach the fifth round of the competition.

It’s been a great week in the Championship for Leeds United as the 7-0 thrashing of Cardiff City and the 2-0 win over Frank Lampard’s Coventry City has seen them extend their lead at the top of the table.

Attention will now turn towards cup competition as Daniel Farke’s side aims to return to the fifth round of the FA Cup.

Leeds have made the final 16 in the last two seasons after five years of being knocked out in the third round.

While it’s not as big a priority of finally returning to the Premier League, it would be great for the club if they could reach the quarter-finals for the first time since 2003.

First, though, Leeds must get past Championship rivals Millwall at Elland Road. If they do, then they will be in the hat for the fifth round draw and here is all you need to know about it.
