FA Cup semi-final draw: Leeds to play Chelsea and Manchester City face Southampton at Wembley

Leeds United will face Chelsea at Wembley after reaching the FA Cup semi-finals for the first time in 39 years.

Daniel Farke’s side improved in the Premier League by beating relegation rivals West Ham 4-2 on penalties after a thrilling 2-2 draw on Sunday.

Last year’s defeated finalist Manchester City will face Championship team Southampton in the other semi-final.

The Saints, whose only FA Cup victory came in 1976, stunned Premier League leaders Arsenal on Saturday in preparation for their clash with seven-time winners City.

Leeds last reached the FA Cup last four in 1987; They lost 3-2 to Coventry City at Hillsborough and lifted the cup for the first time in 1972.

Their encounter with eight-time winners Chelsea will also bring back memories of the 1970 showdown, which saw the Blues triumph after a replay at Old Trafford, the first since 1912 that required an FA Cup final at the time.

This year’s matches will be played at Wembley on the weekend of 25-26 April.
