Crawley boss John Yems fancies FA Cup upset against Leeds

Crawley Town boss John Yems has fired a warning at FA Cup opponents Leeds United.

The Whites will be travelling south to take on League Two Crawley.

“I'm looking forward to it 150 million per cent," Yems told the West Sussex County Times.

"We haven't got a lot to lose, but careers are made for players and games like that. Saturday we're playing a Premier League side, what a way to test ourselves.

"It's a free punch as far as I'm concerned, but do we want to be in the hat next week?

"Of course we do, we're not going out to lose, we're going out to win, and give them a good game of football. We'll enjoy it, how can you not enjoy playing Leeds United at our ground?

"It's all part and parcel of it and if the lads and club can't enjoy it we shouldn't be in football."
