The Leeds United squad are now gearing up for Sunday's FA Cup second round trip to Histon - knowing the majority of the footballing world will be hoping to see Gary McAllister's men slip on the banana skin tie.

After going down 2-1 at Northampton in midweek, attentions have now turned towards the FA Cup and the trip to face the Blue Square Premier Division leaders.

The tie is already being billed as 'David against Goliath' and by the time Sunday comes around, the United players are only too aware that people will be waiting to see another potential 'giant-killing' from Histon.

"It's something we are used to," said goalkeeper Dave Lucas.

"We have it every single week no matter where we go. We hear 'Dirty Leeds' and all that. It's all garbage.

"We have to realise we could be up for a giant killing if we get through to the third round and that's at the back of our minds as well. I'm sure there'll be a few nerves, but that's a good thing.

"We've got to realise we're on a hiding to nothing on Sunday. All we can do is put in a good performance, and hopefully get the win, and get it over with."
