Fierce rivals Derby and Leeds will reignite their rivalry in Sunday’s FA Cup third round clash, with the Premier League side looking to bounce back from a heartbreaking defeat to Newcastle in the embers of the game. Daniel Farke’s side are unbeaten in seven games and will face their Championship opponents with confidence.
This match has added spice not only from the days of Brian Clough and Don Revie as managers, but many will remember the Spygate drama in 2019 and the subsequent derby victory in the Championship play-offs. Leeds are expected to have a frosty atmosphere at Pride Park as a result.

Derby hosts Leeds kick-off at 12pm on Sunday 11th January at lunchtime. The match is the first match of the day following a thrilling Saturday in which Macclesfield defeated holders Crystal Palace in one of the most historic upsets in FA Cup history.

team news
Second-choice goalkeepers often concede goals in the FA Cup, but many will expect Karl Darlow to take his place against Derby following Falke’s criticism of Lucas Perrie’s performance.
Falke may opt for a rotation to keep his team fresh, but will have to make a decision regarding Jayden Bogle’s return from a calf issue.
Sam Byram, Sebastian Borneau, Ao Tanaka, Wilfried Gounondt and Joel Pillow are among the potential starters.
Lewis Travis recently returned to Derby after 12 weeks out with a calf injury and is pushing towards his first start against Leeds.
