    Three giants of football in a row in this season's cup. I've already seen one Leeds fan comment that we will learn what a 'big' team is like with their visit.

    Steve Evans admitted Leeds United had landed an unfavourable tie after being drawn away to Watford in the FA Cup’s fifth round – but said the clash was “a game we can win.”
    Evans said: “We’re the only lower placed team away from home, we’ve not landed any of the big names and we’re not at Elland Road so those are the downsides.
    “We’ll take thousands upon thousands of supporters with us and we’ll turn it into a proper cup tie. We have to turn it into a cup tie.
    “I’ve got a lot of admiration for Watford and what they did in the Championship last season and if we play them at their game, we’ll get beaten.

    Should be a great game at the Vic one way or the other. However I think how we go about it will depend on
    the results of the very tough prem games beforehand: Chelsea, Spurs, Palace.

    If we are on 32/33 points (I hope not but ....) then the cup may have to take a back seat.

    But who knows by then our second eleven may be more than capable to see off Leeds. Can see the headline:

    "Watford find another goal scorer as Amrabat gets cup hat-trick" :emoticon-0140-rofl:
