Little Histon aiming for the jugular

The romance of the FA Cup sees the footballing world baying for the blood of Leeds United as the Yorkshire giants descend en-mass on a small village in Cambridgeshire tomorrow. Histon, the form team of the Blue Square Premier, who actually play in neighbouring Impington, provide the the David facing up to United's Goliath.

Leeds recent defensive frailties have not gone unnoticed by the non-league minnows who quietly fancy their chances of going down in FA Cup folklore by dumping Gary McAllister's charges out of the competition.

Histon manager Steve Fallon is expecting his side to give a good account of themselves infront of a live ITV audience and a capacity 4,000 crowd, of which 1,800 will be backing the Whites. 'In some ways, it will be like an away game because we expect Leeds to have the majority of possession,' said Fallon. 'We are good on the road, have pace and can counter-attack so that won't be a problem.'

'We have been called a physical team because we prefer a direct approach. That's not true, but let others think that if they want. We just like to play in the final third in our opponents' half.'
