Leeds United visit Birmingham City on Sunday in the FA Cup fourth round.

Leeds United are heading for a fourth round FA Cup clash at Birmingham City - ahead of which updates on key men will be forthcoming from Whites boss Daniel Farke.

Farke’s men bagged another big point in their quest for Premier League survival at Tuesday night’s hosts Chelsea and did so despite having three key men missing.

Centre-back Pascal Struijk and midfielder Anton Stach were already confirmed as out ahead of the trip to Stamford Bridge due to hip injures but the pair were joined on the sidelines by striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin due to illness.

Farke had said at Monday’s pre-Chelsea press conference that Calvert-Lewin had been struggling a little with illness but with hope that the striker would be available to face the Blues.

The result kept Leeds six points clear of the relegation zone and attention now turns to the FA Cup with Sunday’s fourth round clash at Championship outfit Birmingham City in a 12 noon kick-off.

Ahead of the game, Whites boss Farke is holding his pre-match press conference this afternoon from Thorp Arch and we will bring you all of the news here including the updates on Calvert-Lewin, Stach and Struijk.

Farke said earlier in the week that Stach would probably just be back for next weekend’s Premier League clash at Aston Villa.
