What does the recent head-to-head record look like?

Crawley have never played Leeds in a competitive fixture, with the Reds having only reached the EFL for the first time in their history in 2011.

Town haven’t made it past the third round of the FA Cup since 2012, when they were eventually knocked out in the fifth stage of the competition by Stoke City.
