Leeds United's priority may still be ensuring they stay in the Premier League this season, but they also remain in the hunt for a trophy. Yesterday's FA Cup win over Birmingham City may not have been straightforward and came only after a penalty shootout victory, but Leeds still progressed.

Ahead of the return to top-flight action at the weekend with a testing game at Aston Villa, Leeds fans can afford themselves a chance to get caught up in FA Cup fever for a moment. Here are the details you need to know.
