Leeds United skipper Sol Bamba has revealed that his side are relishing the prospect of facing Premier League outfit Watford in the FA Cup.
The Whites edged out Bolton Wanderers 2-1 at the weekend to set up an FA Cup fifth round date with the Hornets at Vicarage Road on 20th February.
And Bamba, who featured against Bolton, his first outing in almost three weeks, admitted that the Watford game will be a tough encounter.
However, the Ivory Coast international insisted that the Yorkshire giants are looking forward to their meeting with the Premier League team, who held champions Chelsea to a goalless draw on Wednesday.
“Tough match yes, but that’s what we want”, Bamba told LUTV, when asked about Leeds’ FA Cup draw.

“Especially in the cup, playing a Premier League team away, it will be good.
“I’m sure we’re going to have a good game again and I’m looking forward to it.”
Leeds, who are currently 15th in the Championship with 36 points from 29 games, 12 behind sixth-placed Ipswich Town, are next up against Nottingham Forest at Elland Road tomorrow.
The corresponding fixture at the City Ground finished 1-1 in December after Sam Byram’s 80th minute equaliser cancelled out Nelson Oliveira’s first half goal.
