Darren Ferguson, the manager of Peterborough United, is eagerly anticipating the FA Cup third-round clash against Leeds United. Expressing his excitement, Ferguson commended Leeds United and their supporters in his assessment of the upcoming January match.
In the recent draw, Leeds United, facing an away game in the FA Cup for the 13th consecutive time, was paired with Peterborough, a high-performing League One team. The match is scheduled for the first full weekend in January, and Ferguson is delighted about various aspects of the fixture. He acknowledged that Leeds United’s fan base is likely to sell out any given allocation, expressing hope that the game will be televised. Ferguson holds considerable respect for Leeds as a formidable club and believes the encounter will be a unique challenge for his team.
In Ferguson’s words, “I’m pleased with the draw. When you secure a home draw, it’s ideal to face a team that can draw a full house and create an excellent atmosphere. Leeds will achieve that; they’ll fill whatever allocation they receive. Being a significant club in good form, it will be a different game for us, but we have a chance to progress. It promises to be a fantastic occasion. There’s even the potential for it to be televised, which would be a positive outcome. Before we can fully focus on this significant game, we must navigate through the busy Christmas period.”
