As soon as this tie was drawn, memories flew back to a memorable clash between these rivals in 2002.<\/h2>\n

Leeds United came to Cardiff for a cup tie as top team in the Premier League but, in a white hot atmosphere at the old Ninian Park, came unstuck against a Cardiff City team playing in the third tier at the time. Local hero Scott Young grabbed the winner that day.<\/p>\n

Another exciting clash is anticipated this weekend. Leeds will be backed by around 6,000 fans at the Cardiff City Stadium. Cardiff boss Mark Hudson faces a tough afternoon.<\/p>\n

Both clubs have suffered injuries and we may some fresh faces given an outing.<\/p>\n

Cardiff striker Kion Etete continues to recover from a slight hamstring strain and is unlikely to be seen against Leeds.<\/p>\n

Callum Robinson is also ill and probably will not feature either. Illness has also cast a doubt over Gavin Whyte and C\u00e9dric Kipr\u00e9.<\/p>\n

But the Bluebirds have \u00a0players who are desperate to play. What an opportunity to showcase themselves against a Premier League team.<\/p>\n

Leeds United have four first-team players ruled out of the FA Cup clash as Jesse Marsch has shared his team news.<\/p>\n

Patrick Bamford is only recently back in training while Adam Forshaw and Luis Sinisterra are expected to be in training next week.<\/p>\n

Stuart Dallas has also undergone another operation to clean things up and he is not available for the game either.<\/p>\n

There will be plenty to interest Prost\u2019s American audience as Leeds United\u2019s manager is American\u00a0Jesse Marsch,<\/strong> who replaced\u00a0Marcelo Bielsa\u00a0as head coach in February 2022.<\/p>\n

Marsch became just the third American to manage in the Premier League, after\u00a0Bob Bradley\u00a0and German-born\u00a0David Wagner.<\/p>\n

He began his managerial career in the USA with Montreal Impact and New York Red Bulls, before making the move to Austria to take the hot seat at Red Bull Salzburg.<\/p>\n

It was with Die Roten Bullen that Marsch caught the eye, winning the Austrian Bundesliga and the Austrian Cup on two occasions.<\/p>\n

Salzburg\u2019s talented side under Marsch included the likes of Manchester City\u2019s\u00a0Erling Haaland,<\/strong> former Liverpool attacker\u00a0Takumi Minamino\u00a0and Hungarian playmaker\u00a0Dominik Szoboszlai, the latter following the American to his next role at German club RB Leipzig.<\/p>\n

After mutually agreeing to leave Leipzig, Marsch joined Leeds United just two months later and guided them to Premier League safety at the end of last season.<\/p>\n

Cardiff have been struggling to find the net since the World Cup and it will be a big ask to lower the colours of Leeds again. But with memories of 2002 filling the air, who knows what the magic of the cup could bring.<\/p>\n
