Leeds United fans question away FA Cup tie vs Sunderland or Fulham

Leeds United supporters have questioned the fact that the Whites have been drawn away from home for the 12th straight FA Cup tie.

Jesse Marsch's men will travel to either Sunderland or Fulham, who will go head-to-head in a replay at the Stadium of Light after drawing at Craven Cottage on Sunday.

In the third round, Fulham prevailed 2-0 at Hull City, while Sunderland came from behind to defeat Shrewsbury Town 2-1. Jack Clarke gave the Black Cats an early lead at Craven Cottage, but Tom Cairney rescued a 1-1 draw for Fulham.

Leeds were last drawn at home in the FA Cup for their 2-0 victory over Rotherham United at Elland Road in the third round in January 2016.

Here is how Leeds fans have been reacted to the FA Cup fifth round draw on social media...

@liam_lightowler Go full strength again and we should get past either side.

@DanLUFC_ Away? No I don't believe you.

@SOGSV5 Away from home? No way really.

@RMawson93 An away tie in the FA Cup? Never?

@dafifaboss2 How are we always away man?

@Weysider Away, you say? What are the odds of being drawn away 12 times in a row?

@Beatthefirstma2 Away? Imagine my shock...

@JasonAFlintham So another away game, and you just know the geniuses at the FA are gonna put it on a Monday night so that it's impossible for fans to travel to it.

@Christhefish86 Leeds getting an away game in the FA Cup is going to be amongst taxes and death soon.
