Cardiff City vs Leeds United

The Whites get their FA Cup campaign underway at the Cardiff City Stadium this afternoon.

Mark Hudson will be keen to see his side take the scalp of Leeds, though, and end their seven match winless run. After all of the anticipation and waiting for football to return, Leeds were rusty and useless on a dire day in the Welsh capital. He joined the club on Tuesday from RB Salzburg and he's spent the last few days training with his new teammates. The Austrian will look to make his debut as a substitute today. All six should be expected to start in Wales. Cardiff City may be just two points above the Championship drop zone, but we all know this competition is a great leveller. The head coach would not name names when he mentioned a large number of players were carrying knocks before the match. Given we have no idea who he’s talking about, we’ll have to treat everyone as available beyond Adam Forshaw, Patrick Bamford, Stuart Dallas and Luis Sinisterra. Leeds have failed to beat Cardiff in any of their last five encounters. Queens Park Rangers, Arsenal, Crawley Town and West Ham United all put pay to any hopes of a Marcelo Bielsa was not able to turn the recent record on its head either. There's no Meslier who is missing with a slight muscle knock.

Greenwood was poor from the bench against West Ham United on Wednesday, but should be in line for a starting role against Cardiff. With Mateusz Klich’s departure confirmed, now is the time for players such as Greenwood to step up. The defender has endured a poor start to this campaign. His time is numbered in a starting berth unless he improves. Cooper has more than a point to prove to Marsch in order to remain as part of the starting XI for league games. The signing of Max Wöber should mean Cooper is dropped so that Pascal Struijk and Wöber form the left side of Leeds’ defence.

Manager Jesse Marsch is desperate to end Leeds United's recent wretched FA Cup record with the third-round visit to Cardiff City.

"When you play a Premier League team you're going to be deemed as an underdog, but we've got to focus on what we can do." "I've been reminded of it this week - it's a team that we've done well against historically and we look forward to it," Hudson added. "Angus subtly spoke to me last week and said maybe we should focus on having a good FA Cup run," Marsch said.

Cardiff City suffered late heartbreak in their FA Cup third round tie with Leeds United after Sonny Perkins tapped home in injury time to earn a 2-2 draw ...

Alnwick gets a hand on it, but it's too powerful for him and hits the back of the net. Bagan, scrambling, stuck out a left hand to save a certain goal and parry the ball wide of the post. Perkins reacted quickest and nudged it past Alnwick to level the scores. Bagan blocks a cross and it's a corner. Boos from the away fans, massive cheers from the home supporters. Jarred Gillett pointed to the spot and brandished the red card. With just 10 minutes to go, and Cardiff holding a slender one-goal lead, Rodrigo's breakaway led to a shot from Junior Firpo inside the box. Instead, he belted it into the sea of Leeds fans behind the goal. Sang slotted an intelligent ball down the side of the centre-backs and Mark Harris latched on to it, before seeing his own shot saved. Remaining cool under pressure, the Wales international then fed Isaak Davies, who was starting his first game of the season, and the striker's shot struck a Leeds leg before fortuitously dropping into Philogene's path. But, thanks to Tom Sang and others, Cardiff weathered the early storm. Cardiff fans were in euphoria, singing, "We're Cardiff City, we're taking the p***."

Leeds boss Jesse Marsch: "The whole first half we were not in sync and not aggressive enough. They have got an abundance of talent to come off the bench. Jesse Marsch waited until just shy of the hour mark to make his first substitutions, a triple change. We showed a good shape. But their goal drought ended on 24 minutes when Mark Harris broke behind the dozing Pascal Struijk to force a save from the advancing Joel Robles. Cardiff doubled their lead seven minutes later just after the half-hour mark.

A quick set-play taken with Willy Gnonto saw the former chip the ball into the middle where Rodrigo leapt highest, heading home to reduce the deficit. Further changes off the bench came as Mateo Joseph and Sonny Perkins entered, with Leeds still looking for a leveller. Marsch went to his bench just before the hour mark and brought on new signing Max Wober, along with top-scorer Rodrigo and former Cardiff loanee, Cody Drameh. A chipped ball over top from Andy Rinomhota was well controlled by Sheyi Ojo on his chest, before the Cardiff forward fired into the roof of the net to double the advantage. They went in at the break two-goals behind and with work to do. Efforts from Darko Gyabi and Crysencio Summerville came close to opening the scoring, but they were both cleared.
