FA Cup fourth-round draw: Leeds United ball number, TV channel and start time
Leeds United’s dream of FA Cup glory remains alive.
Leeds beat Derby 3-1 in the third round at Pride Park on Sunday, despite having to come from behind as well as Joel Piroe missing a first half penalty.
Sebastiaan Bornauw and Wilfried Gnonto limped down the tunnel at half-time, with the former being replaced for the second half whilst the latter scored the equalising goal before eventually being substituted on 86 minutes.
Leeds have been told they shouldn’t have been awarded a penalty after Lukas Nmecha went down after a challenge from Derby goalkeeper Jacob Zetterstrom, but Piroe would see his spot-kick saved regardless before Derby opened the scoring just minutes later.
However, goals from Gnonto, Ao Tanaka and James Justin would tell the story of a dominant second-half performance from Leeds, as their Premier League class eventually showed.
When is the FA Cup fourth-round draw?
Leeds were beaten 2-0 by Millwall at the fourth round stage last season, so Daniel Farke will be determined to see his side avoid the same fate this time round.
Farke put out a largely strong side against Derby despite taking the opportunity to rest some key players such as Dominic Calvert-Lewin, so the Whites appear to be taking the competition seriously amid their ongoing quest for Premier League survival.
So, when will Leeds supporters learn who their team will be taking on in the last 32 of the competition?
Well, the FA Cup fourth round draw will take place on Monday, 12 January, and will begin before Liverpool’s tie with Barnsley at Anfield.
The draw itself is scheduled to take place at around 6:35pm GMT.
