FA Cup fifth round draw simulated as Leeds United land home tie vs Premier League opposition

Leeds United confirmed their place in the FA Cup fifth round draw with a 3-1 win vs Accrington Stanley on Saturday afternoon.

Goals from Jack Harrison, Junior Firpo and Luis Sinisterra at the Wham Stadium saw Jesse Marsch's side progress beyond the fourth round for the first time in seven years. They are now in the hat for Monday night's draw, where fans will be on tenterhooks to see who they come up against.

The Whites are one of nine top-flight sides left in the competition, with big names such as Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool and Newcastle United all having been knocked out of the cup already.

With the draw for the fifth round of the FA Cup is set to take place after 7pm (GMT) tonight, LeedsLive have run a simulation of the draw to see who Leeds and others may face.

FA Cup fifth round draw simulation:

  • Stoke City vs Luton Town or Grimsby Town
  • Southampton vs Brighton & Hove Albion
  • Leicester City vs Fulham or Sunderland
  • Leeds United vs Tottenham Hotspur
  • Manchester United vs Manchester City
  • Sheffield Wednesday or Fleetwood Town vs Ipswich Town or Burnley
  • Wrexham or Sheffield United vs Bristol City
  • Derby County or West Ham vs Blackburn Rovers or Birmingham City

For the first time since a 3-1 third round win vs Rotherham United in 2016, Leeds have been drawn as the home side for an FA Cup tie in the simulated results. They would be up against a tough test in the form of Antonio Conte's Tottenham - but Spurs have shown signs of weakness lately and the Whites would back themselves at home in front of a raucous Elland Road crowd.

A mouth-watering Manchester derby has also been tipped, while non-league Wrexham take on Bristol City at home if they get past Sheffield United in their fourth round replay.

We will find out how the draw pans out in the real world on Monday evening, with LeedsLive providing a live blog and full coverage of the draw.
