And now they could face another Premier League side in the next round.

He said: "It would be nice to get a big club at home to give us the best chance of winning, but away to give the lads a reward. To get Manchester United or Arsenal away would be good, we have a couple of Tottenham and West Ham fans as well so anyone like that."

Tonight's draw will also see the fifth round draw, so Crawley will know who they will potentially face if they win their fourth round tie, and Bradbury finds that exciting.

He said: "It’s not traditional, but at the same time it is quite exciting. We will know going into that fourth round game who we will play and if that game is the winner of Manchester United v Manchester City, then it makes it that bit more exciting.

"It will be interesting to see what affect knowing who teams will face in the fifth round what it does for team selections, especially the big sides."

Bradbury was understandably delighted with victory against Leeds and side his side deserved it. "I think we deserved it to be fair. It’s not like we won 1-0 and nicked it. We scored three and kept a clean sheet. I thought we were deserved winners and I think Glenn [Morris] only made one save during the game.

"The plan was all week to sit in soak up the pressure, save your energy so when we get the ball we can be explosive and counter attack. And with the pace of Nadders [Ashley Nadesan], the guile of Nico [Tom Nichols] and Nick [Tsaroulla] on one side and Sam [Matthews] on the other we had goal threats everywhere.

"I thought it worked very well and all credit to the players they took all the information in and were disciplined enough to do it.

"We knew we would get a chance in the game, it was just when and whether we could take it."
