Leeds United are into the hat for the FA Cup fourth round draw but when does it take place?

It was far from easy but Leeds United managed to edge past local rivals Harrogate Town on Saturday evening 1-0 to win their first FA Cup match of the season and advance to the fourth round.

Daniel Farke’s much-changed side dominated the ball but struggled to break down the spirited League Two outfit, who even threatened themselves in the second half.

Yet, Leeds found the break through when Largie Ramazani nodded in Manor Solomon’s cross on the hour mark and that was enough to earn them a spot in the next round.

But who will United face and when will they find out? Everything you need to know about the fourth round draw can be found below.

When is the FA Cup fourth round draw?

Leeds fans won’t have to wait long to find out who’s up next in the FA Cup. The fourth round draw will be held on Sunday, January 12, following the conclusion of Arsenal vs Manchester United.

What time is the FA Cup draw?

The all Premier League clash between Arsenal and Manchester United gets underway at 3 pm on Sunday, so the draw will come once the match has finished at around 5 pm.

However, with no replays in the third round, should the match finish in a draw it would go to extra-time and possibly penalties.

In that event, the draw will be delayed until after the match has been decided.

How to watch the FA Cup fourth round draw

The match is being broadcast on BBC One and that is where you will also be able to watch the draw. TV licence holders in the UK will also be able to stream the draw, as well as the game, live on iPlayer.

The FA will be streaming the draw on their YouTube and social media channels as well.

Possible opponents for Leeds United in FA Cup

32 teams will advance into the fourth round of the FA Cup and, with no seeding or regional restrictions, Leeds could draw any single one of them.

Premier League teams Fulham, Everton, Aston Villa, Leicester City, Nottingham Forest, Chelsea, Bournemouth, Brighton and Manchester City are already safely through, as are Championship title rivals Burnley.

League One sides Exeter City and Wycombe Wanderers are the lowest teams through so far but the likes of Doncaster Rovers, Tamworth, Bromley, Bristol Rovers, Stockport County and Dagenham & Redbridge are all yet to play.
