Leeds United boss Neil Redfearn describes his side's upcoming trip to Sunderland in the FA Cup third round as a "great tie".

Leeds United boss Neil Redfearn has expressed his excitement after seeing his side drawn away to Sunderland in the FA Cup third round.

The tie is a repeat of the 1973 final which saw Sunderland stun Leeds with a 1-0 win at Wembley Stadium.

Redfearn has challenged his young squad to show that they can compete against Premier League opposition when they meet at the start of 2015.

"It is a great tie," he told the Yorkshire Evening Post. "Playing a Premier League club is a good draw for us and it will give our young side, with a lot of talent, the chance to pit their wits against a top-flight side, which is great.

"That '73 final is still there in a lot of Leeds fans' memories. I remember watching it, but only bits of it, and it was a famous final. It would be nice to go up there and put on a performance and get a win as they are obviously a big club who did well to stay in the Premier League last season."

Leeds continue their Championship campaign on Saturday when they welcome Fulham to Elland Road.
