The Whites enter their matchup with Plymouth fresh off a significant victory, defeating Bristol City 1-0 on the road on Friday, February 2 to extend their winning streak to five games in the Championship.
When Plymouth and Leeds met for the first time on Saturday, January 27, they drew 1-1 at Elland Road. Now, the two teams will play again for a spot in the FA Cup fifth round.
Daniel Farke has made five changes to the team that defeated Ashton Gate, starting Georginio Rutter, Patrick Bamford, Archie Gray, Ethan Ampadu, with Cryseensio Summerville on the bench.
Following his game-winning goal against Bristol City, Wilfried Gnonto has maintained his position.
Could Leeds United be headed for an FA Cup run?
The only time Farke’s team has lost a game since the start of the year was in a tie with Plymouth at the end of January. Their most recent setback came on December 29 at The Hawthorns, when they were defeated 1-0 by West Brom.
On January 7, they defeated Peterborough United 3-0 on the road, and after Patrick Bamford’s incredible goal in the third round, they easily advanced to the fourth round of the competition.
They are aware that it won’t be an easy night, though, as Plymouth has won their past six games in all competitions.
