Leeds United's priority for the 24/25 season is to secure promotion to the Premier League, but Daniel Farke's side will also be eyeing a deep run in the FA Cup. Leeds have not reached the quarter-finals since 2003, but that is not an unrealistic aim this term provided the draw is kind.

Even if Farke shuffles his pack for the visit of Harrogate Town, Leeds will be strong favorites. Expect the hosts to dominate possession and provide plenty of attacking thrust.

Facing a team that has won nine of its last 10 home games, Harrogate Town will be up against it. The League Two side will aim to sit deep and spoil, but holding Leeds at bay for 90 minutes will be tough.

Read on as we explain all the ways to get a Leeds United vs Harrogate Town live stream wherever you are.
