Leeds United will look to get past Cardiff City in the third-round replay of the FA Cup when these two sides go head to head with each other on Wednesday night. Leeds are struggling for form in the Premier League, which is also the case with Cardiff City, who are languishing in the bottom end of the Championship table. In the third-round clash, Leeds fought back from a two-goal deficit to level the score late in the match, which has taken the tie into a replay.
Leeds are entering this match on the back of losing their last game to Aston Villa in the Premier League. That defeat has pushed Leeds United to 14th in the table with just 17 points from 18 games. The situation for Cardiff is neither better, as they will be heading into this game without a manager. They are placed 21st in the Championship table and have 29 points from 27 games. Cardiff are winless in their last five league games, having drawn four of them. Same is the case with Leeds, who are also winless in their last five league games after drawing two and losing three of them.
