Leeds United and Chelsea are set to do battle under the famous Wembley arch on Sunday (April 26) for a place in the FA Cup final.
The Whites last reached the semi-final stage in 1987 and will be keen to get their hands on the prestigious silverware. Leeds last travelled to Wembley for the 2024 Championship play-off final, which they lost to Southampton in heartbreaking fashion.
In their way this time are Chelsea, one of the club’s historic rivals who would generally be considered favourites to emerge victorious. However, the Blues recently axed Liam Rosenior as boss after five straight league defeats and will be led out at Wembley by interim manager Calum McFarlane.
Neither of the managers have been able to report a clean bill of health, something that is increasingly a rarity in the modern game.
With both bosses having spoken to the media, here is a rundown of the team news for the meeting between Chelsea and Leeds.
