Peterborough United will host Leeds United at the Weston Homes Stadium on Sunday in another round of the 2023-24 FA Cup campaign.

The home side are enjoying a strong run of form in League One at the moment and will hope they can carry that momentum on to the domestic cup this weekend. They saw off Salford and Doncaster Rovers in the first two rounds of the competition and will look to test their mettle against a Championship side on Sunday.

Leeds United have had mixed results in the English second tier of late but remain hopeful of making an immediate return to the Premier League. They returned to winning ways last time out with a dominant 3-0 victory over struggling Birmingham City, with three different players getting on the scoresheet including Patrick Bamford, who scored his first goal for the club since April last year.

The visitors faced Cardiff City at this stage of the competition last season, playing out a 2-2 draw in the first match before winning 5-2 in the replay.
