Chelsea have had a brilliant run in the FA Cup, and they recently capped it with a 7-0 win over Port Vale, taking them to a seventh FA Cup final in ten years.
Leeds storm into the semis with a dramatic win over West Ham in the penalty shootout. Both sides played a thrilling 2-2 draw in regulation time, but Leeds got the edge in the shootout, winning 4-2.
Chelsea will now face Leeds for the third time this season, an opposition they have failed to beat this season. Both sides played a 2-2 draw in February, while Leeds beat the Blues 3-1 in December.
Chelsea have an age-long rivalry with Leeds, which makes this game even more thrilling. Given the stakes at hand, the game is finely poised to be an exciting one.

To round up the draws, Manchester City, who thrashed Liverpool 4-0, will play giant killers Southampton. The Saints produced a miracle last night to beat Premier League leaders Arsenal. They now have to face Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City for a spot in the final.
Manchester City have already won a trophy this season, beating Arsenal in the Carabao Cup just before the international break and they will be gunning for a second one with all eyes on the FA Cup as the Premier League may be well out of reach.
