Leeds United start their FA Cup campaign this week.

Leeds United winger Stuart Dallas has been speaking to the club’s official website ahead of their FA Cup third round clash against Cambridge United.

The Northern Ireland international has had to wait patiently for his chances after returning from injury, featuring sporadically from the start and having to make do with a 17-minute cameo against Rotherham United last time out.

Leeds have considerably more strength in depth on the flanks than they did last season, meaning Dallas is no longer guaranteed to start week in, week out.

However, he is hoping to add another start to his belt when Leeds travel to Cambridge for Monday evening’s clash.

“I always want to play as much as I can, so hopefully I get a chance to play against Cambridge,” Dallas told leedsunited.com.

“It is a very competitive squad; everybody is ready to go and you need to be on top of your game at all times.”

Dallas has 67 appearances for Leeds to date, in which time he has scored five goals and provided nine assists, and while that is nothing to write home about his all-round play and work ethic make him an important cog in the team.

Leeds manager Garry Monk is likely to make changes for the upcoming clash, with the Whites’ promotion push continuing in earnest against Derby County on Friday evening.
