Crawley Town Preview – Can the Reds upset the Premier League side?

John Yems’ Crawley Town are doing just fine in League Two at present. After 22 games played, the Red Devils are in sixth spot with 34 points to their name, just five points adrift of league leaders Carlisle United. Overall, they have won nine, drawn seven and lost six.

Yems’ troops have been in good form of late, winning five and drawing four of their previous nine in all competitions. In the first round of the FA Cup, Crawley edged an 11-goal thriller at Torquay United (6-5) before winning 2-1 at Wimbledon in round two.

This will be a memorable occasion for the fourth-tier outfit, but have they got it in them to cause an upset on their own patch? At the time of writing, the bookies have the home win priced at 8/1, while the draw in the 90 is available at 17/4.

Leeds United Preview – Bielsa’s boys too strong for their League Two opponents?

Leeds United have had a fine season in the Premier League so far. The Whites are sitting comfortably in 12th place at present, picking up 23 points from 17 matches. In their last league win, United thumped West Bromwich Albion 5-0 at The Hawthorns.

Leeds have a rich history but, somewhat surprising, they have only lifted the FA Cup on one occasion. Back in 1972, Allan Clarke scored the only goal at Wembley Stadium in a 1-0 win over Arsenal. They were also runners-up in 1965, 1970 and 1973. How far will they go far in 2021?
