Accrington Stanley finally booked their spot in the fourth round of the FA Cup by beating Boreham Wood 1-0 on Tuesday night.

The League One side were held to a 1-1 draw by the National League outfit earlier this month and needed extra-time in the replay, with Tommy Leigh scoring the winner. The replay was initially pencilled in for January 17 but was postponed due to a frozen pitch.

Accrington's reward is a clash against Premier League favourites Leeds at the Wham Stadium. John Coleman's side are the underdogs for Saturday afternoon's clash - especially after playing 120 minutes of football in their replay against Boreham Wood - but will be hopeful of pulling off a famous shock against Jesse Marsch's team.

The two teams have played each other just twice before in competitive football. Their first meeting was in the EFL Trophy in December 2009, when Leeds were a League One club. The Yorkshire side won that game 2-0. Leeds maintained their 100 per cent with a 2-1 victory in the EFL Cup in August 2014. Both of those games were at Elland Road.

Accrington Stanley vs Leeds team news

Marsch could be boosted by the return of three players for Saturday afternoon's game. Leeds captain Liam Cooper is expected to make his comeback after missing their goalless draw against Premier League rivals Brentford on Sunday with a knee injury.

"It's a minor, knee muscle injury," Marsch told the press of Cooper after his team's most recent outing. "We felt it would recover faster than it has. Yesterday, it did not feel right so we made the decision not to go with him. This week he should be back in training."

Crysencio Summerville is also close to recovering from an ankle injury, while Archie Gray - a 16-year-old midfielder - could make his senior debut after recovering from a foot injury. "He was out on the pitch today," Marsch said of Gray before the Brentford game.

Gray's debut will be a special occasion for his family because his dad Andy, grandad Frank and grand-uncle Eddie played for Leeds. Frank and Eddie both won top-flight titles with the club and featured in their 1975 European Cup final defeat by Bayern Munich.

Accrington boss Coleman has Michael Nottingham available again after the defender missed seven months with a foot injury. Midfielder Seb Quirk, who was signed from Everton earlier this month, is eligible to face Leeds after missing the Boreham Wood win.

"I'm delighted with the result, but we have got to improve," Coleman said after Tuesday night's win. "We have to find a way at home to try and emphasise and impress our style on the game, although that will be tough against Leeds. We will try, though.

"It is a massive boost to be in the fourth round and, financially, it might allow us to get one or two other reinforcements to the squad. Saturday is all about a day out for the fans, that will take care of itself."
