'What a line up' - Leeds United supporters go wild as Georginio Rutter starts vs Accrington Stanley

Leeds United fans could not hide their excitement after Jesse Marsch named Georginio Rutter in his starting XI vs Accrington Stanley in the fourth round of the FA Cup.

The Whites have a chance to progress to the fifth round of the competition for the first time since 2016. A 5-2 win vs Cardiff City in a third round replay saw Leeds progress, while Accrington Stanley also required another bite of the cherry to get past Boreham Wood.

The 'Owd Reds sit 20th in League One, and although there is a sizeable gap between the two sides, Marsch will be ensuring that his Premier League team take nothing for granted in the FA Cup afternoon. After being held to a frustrating 0-0 draw vs Brentford in their last game, the American will no doubt have instilled in his side the importance of being clinical in front of goal.
