LEEDS United are one win away from an FA Cup third round clash with old rivals Manchester United.

Whites manager Simon Grayson will take his side to Old Trafford on January 2 or 3 – providing they can overcome Blue Square Premier side Kettering Town in their second round replay at Elland Road on Tuesday, December 8.

The Coca-Cola League One leaders looked to be heading out of the competition after Ian Roper’s 63rd minute goal at Rockingham Road.

However, top scorer Jermaine Beckford came to the rescue in the 78th minute, getting a deft touch on Robert Snodgrass’ driven cross.
