Walsall manager Michael Flynn has told broadcasters that their decision to schedule Leeds United fourth round FA Cup match for television over his own side's clash with Leicester is 'a disgrace'.
After drawing 2-2 at the Cardiff City Stadium, the Whites hosted their third-round opponents Cardiff City and thrashed them out of the competition with a 5-2 win on Tuesday night.
Jesse Marsch's side will have to wait until next Tuesday's replay between National League Boreham Wood or League One Accrington Stanley to find out who they'll face next as they try to make the fifth round for the first time since 2016.

But Flynn was outraged at the fact that they'd been snubbed by the schedulers after defeating Stockport County 2-1 in the third round and drawing the Foxes at Bank's Stadium next week, with that game on at the same time as Leeds'.
"I think it is a disgrace our game hasn’t been chosen, it is what the FA Cup is all about," he said in his press conference yesterday.
"Walsall haven’t been in the fourth round for six years, Leicester won the competition two years ago and the Premier League six years ago but are struggling this season – all the ingredients are there.
"I also knocked Leicester out when managing Newport, so that is a story. I think the tie should be screened and I find some of the selections strange."
