Early morning team news update.

There is a suggestion that City will make two changes from the starting line up that ran onto the Ninian Park pitch last Saturday against Bristol City. Andy Legg is the obvious replacement for Dean Gordon and will start. It appears that Paul Brayson will replace Jason Bowen in the starting line up. Its not 100% but a possibility.

Leeds United are expected to field the same team that beat West Ham.

So the line ups are expected be

Leeds are without 8 players through injury. Harry Kewell, Dominic Matteo, Seth Johnson, Eirik Bakke, Robbie Keane, Michael Bridges, Olivier Dacourt and Lucas Radebe are all sidelined.

Phew thank god for that there's probably £40m+ worth of players in the treatment room.

Leeds are currently the best team in the country. The names above instill awe into the football purists. But its the FA Cup. I watched the Giantkillers programme on TV and to see Sutton beat Coventry, Wrexham beat Arsenal, Bournemouth to beat Manchester Utd and Leeds themselves be beaten at Colchester then you realise just how special this competition is.

Come on Cardiff.
