FA Cup semi-final draw: Chelsea face Leeds as Man City drawn with Southampton

Chelsea have been drawn against Leeds United in the FA Cup semi-finals while Manchester City will play against Championship side Southampton.

Leeds booked their place in the FA Cup semi-finals for the first time in 39 years with a dramatic penalties win over West Ham and will play Chelsea at Wembley after they thrashed League One Port Vale 7-0.

Manchester City, who thrashed Liverpool 4-0 to reach the final four for an eighth consecutive season, will face promotion-chasing Southampton after they stunned Premier League leaders Arsenal at St Mary's in a 2-1 win.

The semi-final matches will take place at Wembley Stadium on either Saturday April 25 or Sunday April 26.

Fifty years on from their last FA Cup victory, Southampton must stop City from reaching the final for a fourth successive season if they wish to repeat their 1976 success.

Seven-time winners City, who last won the FA Cup in 2023, have lost to Crystal Palace and Manchester United in their last two finals.

Eight-time winners Chelsea, who have not won the FA Cup since 2018, take on their 1970 final opponents in Leeds. The Londoners came out on top in that contest after it went to a replay.

Leeds bounced back from that final defeat to lift the FA Cup in 1972 – but have not progressed beyond the semi-final stage since 1987.
