There should be plenty of entertainment in the Leeds v Plymouth FA Cup fourth round tie this weekend. Leeds have a fantastic home record, unbeaten in the league at home all season to lie 4th in the table. Opponents Plymouth are yet to win away from home in the Championship but have solid home form, which leaves them 15th in the table. Both teams score a fair few goals and that means we should have an enthralling FA Cup clash to look forward to here. 

Leeds United were comfortable winners in the third round, defeating Peterborough United 3-0 on the road and they followed that up with an away win at Cardiff, followed by home wins over Preston and Norwich. Manager Daniel Farke will be hoping his team's outstanding home form can provide the platform for a win which will see them move into the fifth round of the FA Cup for only the fourth time since 2002/03. They also enjoy a very good record over Plymouth, only losing once at home in their history to the Devon-based Argyle and having avoided defeat in all of the last nine games between the two teams - A run of results that stretches back to March 1988 . 

This season, Plymouth Argyle have won 57% of their home games but 0% of their away games in the league. They have conceded 47 goals in the league this season, only Rotherham United (52) and Blackburn Rovers (53) have conceded more, but they have scored 47 goals which only Leeds (50), Southampton (53), Ipswich (51) and Leicester (56) can better. So it is clearly defensively that the Pilgrims have had most of their problems. Ian Foster was appointed as their new manager earlier this month after Steven Schumacher left to join Stoke and he has won two and drawn one of his three games in charge. However that first away win of the season remains elusive.
