Leeds United renew an old rivalry on Wednesday evening, when they face Chelsea in the Emirates FA Cup fifth round.
The Whites travel to Stamford Bridge looking to continue their recent fine form and take on their Premier League opponents, with both teams aiming to secure progression to the quarter-final.
Ahead of the match, Daniel Farke gave his thoughts to the media.
He said: “I’m a big believer and I’ve mentioned it several times.
“Cup competitions and especially the FA Cup, it’s probably the cup competition with the biggest history in whole western Europe.
“I think it’s always important for us that it has more or less really the same value and the same priority like the league.
“We want to represent our club in the best possible way and also in the FA Cup.
“Obviously once you’re in the crunch time period for promotion back to the Premier League then you have to keep this also a bit in mind.
“You have to make sure that in your decision-making you won’t do anything stupid and we won’t risk any players, especially because we head into such a busy period.
“But, nevertheless, we know that we will have an amazing travelling support again.
“It’s a spotlight game and everyone is focused on this game and we want to present ourselves in the best possible way, and also to get the best possible result.”
