Cardiff v Leeds: FA Cup third round – live

“I’m excited,” he says. “Cup matches carry a lot of weight and thehas such a historic presence. We also know as a club we haven’t advanced past this round in a few years [five, actually] and we’re totally focused on coming here and fighting for everything. We know our fan base has a love of this tournament, and the club has history in it.”

Marsch has made seven changes, but insists it’s not rotation. “A lot of the guys aren’t ready to play,” he says, “so even if this was a league match our line-up would be pretty similar.” He mentions Max Wober, the centre-back Leeds have just signed from RB Salzburg for a reported £11m, and says he’ll probably come off the bench. Anyone getting the feeling that this game could be all about the subs?So, plenty of changes from both managers.

Mark Hudson’s bench is interesting in a different way: he gives a first taste of a senior squad to two teenagers, Morgan Wigley, a striker for the Under-18s, and Lewys Benjamin, a goalie who seems to be only 16. Benjamin is almost beyond the reach of Google, though there is. If the caption is accurate, he’s the tall kid in the picture, second from the right. Both teens are surely an FA Cup hero waiting to happen.
