Cardiff City and Leeds United will go head-to-head at the Cardiff City Stadium in round three of the FA Cup on Sunday (January 8).
The Premier League side are unbeaten in five games against the Bluebirds and will look to end this dry spell.
Cardiff failed to find their feet on New Year’s Day, falling to a 1-0 loss against Blackburn Rovers in the Championship. They have now failed to win their last seven league games, drawing four, since a 1-0 victory at Sunderland in November.
While Cardiff will look to arrest their slump and kick off their cup campaign on a high, they have struggled at home, where they are winless in five games.
Meanwhile, Leeds turned in a resilient performance, fighting back from behind to salvage a 2-2 draw against West Ham United. However, they're on a four-game winless run across competitions, losing twice. Leeds are 14th in the Premier League, picking up 17 points from 18 games.
