Ahead of Saturday's visit of Rotherham United in the FA Cup, Jonathan Davies takes a look back at some of Leeds' most memorable Third Round ties in recent years.

Derby County 2-4 Leeds
January 7 1996

Leeds had failed to score in their previous two games in the Premier League ahead of their journey to Division One leaders Derby, who were flying high off the back of six wins in a row.

Howard Wilkinson must have feared the worst when Marco Gabbiadini struck the Rams in front four minutes into the second half before, less than 60 second later, Paul Simpson capitalised on uncertainly in the defence to slide in and score a second.

Gary Speed put Leeds on the comeback trail as they hit a quick-fire double-salvo of their own. He slotted home in the 57th minute, while Brian Deane equalised by tucking away Tony Dorigo's deflected cross.

The visitors then edged their noses in front in the final minute when substitute Rodney Wallace flicked Mark Beeney's huge punt downfield past goalkeeper Russell Hoult, and Gary McAllister slid in to turn the ball home.

Victory was then secured in stoppage time as Deane won the aerial battle to release Tony Yeboah, who calmly lobbed the advancing Derby keeper for number four.

Leeds 3-3 Wigan Athletic – AET; Wigan won 4-2 on penalties
January 17 2006

Nothing could separate the two sides at the JJB Stadium 10 days earlier, as Rob Hulse's 88th-minute equaliser forced a replay at Elland Road.

Wigan were enduring somewhat of a reality check following their flying start to life in the Premier League - winning just one of their previous five games - but took the lead after 24 minutes, as Andreas Johansson finished at the second attempt after his initial effort had come back off the post.

Having suffered only a first defeat in five at Brighton and Hove Albion the previous Saturday, however, Leeds dusted themselves down and equalised four minutes before the break. Hulse's header was cleared off the line, but David Healy reacted quickest to pounce and hook the ball home.

The Northern Irish striker then grabbed a second leveller for Kevin Blackwell's men from the penalty spot on 64 minutes, cancelling out Jason Roberts' strike after Matt Jackson handled in the area.

Extra-time was required and Roberts looked like he had finally put the tie beyond United with a powerful header from Graham Kavanagh's cross, but club veteran Gary Kelly popped up with a stunning 25-yard effort to bring the match all square for a third time and force a penalty shootout.

There was to be no dream finish for the hosts, though, as Healy and Hulse failed to convert, while Wigan scored all four of their kicks with Kavanagh putting an end to an enthralling battle.

Manchester United 0-1 Leeds
January 3 2010

Leeds had not won at Old Trafford in 28 years ahead of their visit to the home of their most bitter rivals just over six years ago.

Confidence was high, though, having lost just twice during what would be their promotion-winning season in League One and having tasted victory in their previous four matches.

The decisive moment of the match came in the 19th minute when Jermaine Beckford chased Jonny Howson's long ball, before neatly sliding it between the attempts at blocking from Tomasz Kuszczak and Wes Brown to send the 9,000 travelling fans into ecstasy.

Their opponents had scored eight goals in their previous two games, but the likes of Wayne Rooney and Michael Owen were unable to find a way past Simon Grayson's stubborn defence and Leeds held on for a truly remarkable victory.

Arsenal 1-1 Leeds
January 8 2011

A year on from the Old Trafford triumph and Leeds fancied another scalp in the shape of a trip to Arsenal.

They were without a win in four but held their own at the Emirates, before being awarded a penalty nine minutes into the second half when Denilson brought down Max Gradel.

Robert Snodgrass stepped up and had United fans dreaming of another upset, as he fired beyond WojciechSzczesny from the spot.

The Championship side held on until the final minute, when Ben Parker was penalised for holding back Theo Walcott inside the area, before Cesc Fabregas stepped up and made no mistake with the resulting penalty.

It could have been a lot worse, however, as Kasper Schmeichel performed heroics to tip Denilson's vicious effort around the post late on and set up a replay at Elland Road.

Despite another brave effort from Leeds and a screamer from Bradley Johnson, they were unable to prevent a 3-1 defeat to their Premier League title-chasing opponents.

Birmingham City 1-2 Leeds
15 January 2013

It was hard to pick a winner from this replay at St Andrew's following a 1-1 draw at Elland Road, with neither Championship side in particularly sparkling form.

Leeds had won just one of their last five - losing three - while hosts Birmingham were without a win in four.

The Blues took the lead on 36 minutes when an unmarked Wade Elliott was allowed to drift into the area and guide home Nahan Redmond's cross.

United took until the 70th minute to respond as talisman Ross McCormack finished off a neat move but, within six minutes, they had turned the tie on its head through El-Hadji Diouf's audacious penalty after Paul Robinson handled Rodolph Austin's cross.

They had Jamie Ashdown to thank for securing their passage to the fourth round, however, following his brilliant reflex save to deny Peter Lovenkrands' fierce first-time volley.
