Prediction: 3-1
Harrogate
Following a 3-3 draw with Hull City, Leeds United will look to return to winning ways when they face Harrogate in the FA Cup round 3. The Whites failed to win the previous two Championship games, but they are still seen as hot favourites to beat Harrogate at their Elland Road. Boss Daniel Farke is expected to mix the squad, with all Wilfried Gnonto, Samuel Byram, and Mateo Joseph pushing for recalls to the starting XI. Midfielder Ilia Gruev continues to miss out with a knee injury.
The Sulphurites, on the other hand, desperately needed a win against Barrow and they managed to get one. Even though Simon Weaver’s troops have regained a much-needed confidence, we are tempted to place our bets on Leeds United, who are a real force to be reckoned with at home. Weaver is unlikely to make changes to the team that defeated the Bluebirds at the weekend.
Highlighted Team (Leeds United):
Leeds United is one of the clubs that won the FA Cup. The Whites outplayed Arsenal in the final of the prestigious competition back in 1972, but they clinched the League Cup trophy as well. Leeds United faced the Gunners in the 1967/1968 League Cup final and it has to be noted that Terry Cooper scored the winner for the Whites.
Leeds play their home games at Elland Road and the capacity of the stadium is 37,914. The club was founded in 1919 and they have won three First Division (Premier League) trophies ever since (1968/1969, 1973/1974, 1991/1992). Leeds United made it to the Champions League final in 1975, but they were beaten by Bayern Munich in the title clash.
The Whites were impressive under David O’Leary. The likes of Jonathan Woodgate, Lee Bowyer, Harry Kewell, Mark Viduka and Ian Harte were part of the Elland Road outfit back then and they did well to reach the semis of the Champions League in 2001.
