Staring down the barrel of defeat at the Cardiff City Stadium until the third minute of second-half injury time, Leeds went into the half-time interval with a 2-0 deficit to make up after Jaden Philogene and Sheyi Ojo put the Bluebirds in the ascendancy in their FA Cup opener.
A cup run would be welcomed with open arms by the Leeds faithful, but Marsch has bigger fish to fry in the Premier League, with a 2-1 defeat to Aston Villa on Friday leaving the Whites 14th in the standings and only two points clear of the relegation zone. Having failed to win any of their competitive fixtures since the World Cup break, Leeds’ victory-less run in all tournaments now stands at an abysmal seven games since their dramatic 4-3 success over Bournemouth on November 5, and goal-laden affairs have been the theme at Elland Road recently.

Prior to being given the boot, ex-Cardiff boss Mark Hudson would have been ruing an 80th-minute red card to Joel Bagan in their four-goal stalemate with Leeds, with the left-back given his marching orders with 10 minutes to go as the Bluebirds failed to hold on.
Saturday’s stalemate versus the Latics proved to be the final straw for Hudson, who has now been relieved of his duties after overseeing a nine-game run without victory. Coincidentally, Cardiff’s most recent win also came on the date of Leeds’ – November 5 – a narrow 1-0 triumph at Sunderland. Dean Whitehead takes temporary charge of the Bluebirds, who have six draws to show from their last seven in all tournaments and sit 21st in the Championship table as a result, and they have made a habit of going out in the third round and then the fourth round of the FA Cup since 2016.

Neither Leeds nor Cardiff have the ingredients for a recipe for success right now, but if Whitehead can bring the new manager bounce to Elland Road with him, a leaky Whites side could be in for a tricky evening. Marsch’s men tend to find their golden touch in front of their own supporters, though, and with some high-quality attacking players ready to make an impact off the bench, Leeds should book their place in round four, although they may require 120 minutes to do so.
